New Danville firefighters thought they were being sent to handle a house fire in Pequea Township on Sunday, only to discover the home was actually flooded with poison gas, according to a report by WGAL.
The incident was unlike anything Tim Kuntz, a New Danville firefighter with 41 years of experience, had ever seen, he told WGAL. It kind of looked like a Hollywood movie because steps, steps, disappeared into nothing, Kuntz said.
The gas was emanating from a reaction involving pool chemicals in the basement of a home in the 2000 block of New Danville Pike.
Firefighters were initially dispatched to the residence for what was originally reported as a structure fire, only to realize that what appeared to be smoke was actually a chemical cloud, the New Danville Fire Company said in a Facebook post.
