Newville Warehouse Destroyed

On March 18, 1997 at 10:45 p.m. firefighters were sent to 15 Railroad Avenue, Newville for a building fire. An arson fire destroyed a 32 by 81 foot vacant frame building once used for storage by the CV Coop Co and damaged the roof of the near by ribbon mill. Firefighters from nine companies battled the multiple alarm fire. Units were on the scene almost two hours. Damages were estimated at $35,000. Two juvenile boys were later charged with the crime. The Cumberland Valley Hose Company assisted at the scene along with units from Newville, West Pennsboro, Upper Frankford, Penn Twp, Newburg-Hopewell and the Empire, Union and Cumberland-Goodwill of Carlisle.

Earlier in the day Shippensburg firefighters responded to a fatal house fire on 324 Airport Road and an auto accident on West King Street.

I am sorry to add the word verification but recently 88 of my post were spammed in one night. I do not have the time to correct that many post again, so this will eliminate the bullshit.
