On Thursday, January 20, 2011 shortly before 9:00p.m. Lancaster City Firefighters were dispatched to 315 North Queen Street, for a reported commercial structure fire. First arriving units reported heavy smoke from the roof of Zap & Co, a landmark business, which was a retro clothing store. Firefighters quickly realized that someone was trapped in an apartment above the business. Crews rescued the male and turned him over to the care of EMS personnel. The male, who was determined to be the owner of the business, was airlifted to a hospital in Delaware County, where he was placed in a medical induced coma and is in critical but stable condition. The fire rapidly spread and there were multiple exposure problems. The fire quickly escalated to a general alarm with an additional truck added. Firefighters did a great job protecting exposures and making a successful rescue. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
