YORK COUNTY, Pa. (WHTM) — New details have been released Friday about a massive six-alarm warehouse ***** in York.

The 151,000-square foot building was being used as a distribution warehouse and there were different products being stored inside it, which ended up helping to fuel the *****, York City officials said in a news release.

Still, there is no word on what caused the *****, which ******** under investigation, officials said.

There were multiple issues firefighters encountered due to the size of the building and because of the heavy ***** quickly spreading, it was determined that the blaze would not be extinguished.

After that, the focus became protecting surrounding buildings.

Fill sites for tankers had to be set up around the area to help with water demand and in case of other exposure building fires. While doing this, there were two tankers that collided, resulting in multiple firefighters getting injured, the release states.

Most of the ***** was extinguished after midnight and crews stayed at the scene extinguishing hot spots until Monday, July 15.
