City mourns loss of 2 firefighters killed in collapse


Federal investigators searched for clues Friday, and a city mourned the loss of two firefighters who were buried in the rubble of a collapsed former piano factory. York firefighters Ivan Flanscha and Zachary Anthony died at a hospital after being pulled from the wreckage of the former Weaver Organ and Piano factory, the first city firefighters to be killed in the line of duty in nearly 50 years. Flanscha was named the York City Firefighter of the Year in 2004, and was a 20-year veteran of the department. The two firefighters are the 12th and 13th city firefighters killed in the line of duty in the department's history. The York Fire Department and firefighters union started a GoFundMe campaign to help the families of the victims and the injured firefighters.
