All three victims were found on the third floor, Chief William Sleeger of the York fire department said. Both sides of the duplex were destroyed, with the damage estimated at $250,000.

A firefighter sent out a distress call after stepping into a hole in the floorboards while battling the blaze, but “was able to extricate himself and went right back to work,” Sleeger said.
