Shortly before noon a fire was reported in the 600 block of Dauphin Street. Units arrived to find a row of 6 ordinary constructed (Type III) row houses with fire in two buildings.

A second alarm was struck and eventually all personnel were withdrawn from two of the buildings. The crews utilized a defensive attack to extinguish the fire from that point on and supported the fire wall in the third building.

The fire was wind driven and in buildings that were vacant and or under renovation. The buildings were in poor condition and cleared of any potential occupants.

Crews operated for about 4 hours. The fire was started by a burn barrel on the C side that extended into the building.

Outside fires are illegal in the City of Harrisburg for this very reason.
