DOVER TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Three firefighters were injured at a house fire Friday, and a mayday was called early on as conditions quickly worsened.

“The crew began to experience moderate heat and zero visibility. The nozzleman opened the line to cool down the environment,” the Dover Township Fire Department said in a Facebook post Saturday.

EMS providers treated the three firefighters and transported them to York Hospital. They suffered minor burns, were treated and have been released.
