Three people are homeless after a late-night fire in Lancaster. The fire gutted the rear of the home in the 600 block of Manor Street.Investigators are still looking for a cause. Lancaster Fire Chief Jeff Pierce said his department could have responded faster if it had more firefighters. Pierce said six, or about half the normal number of city firefighters, responded to the fire on Manor Street."There was other calls that were taking place and then the structure fire came in. At that point, we didn't have crews that were prepared to arrive in a timely manner," Pierce said.The cause of the fire is under investigation.

At last night's city council meeting, Luis Mendoza was making a passioned plea for help for the fire department as one of the E. King St engines screamed by Southern Market.

I wondered where they were going to and thought it interesting that there was a call during the meeting.

Rick Gray said there was a committee looking into public safety issues. I truly hope he can do something to help the city fire department.
