A 0739 hour box alarm brought Engine 41 to the 6200 block of Wantz Lane this morning for a report of "smoke in an attic". Battalion 891 (Woods) and Engine 41 (FF Poole) arrived on scene with a 1.5 story, single family dwelling with smoke showing from the attic. The Engine Company laid 1,100' of 5" supply line from Dark Hollow and Wantz. Crews advanced a 200' crosslay into the attic to find high heat and smoke. Engine 891 (York Area United) opened up on the 1st floor to find active fire. Once this was done, 41 had fire in the attic, and crews made a quick knock on the fire. There was fire damage to the chimney and the areas surrounding. Crews operated for just under 3 hours.
