WHEN DWAYNE AND JENNY LONG WERE RIDING down Main St. in McSherrystown, Pennsylvania Sunday evening about 8:30, they spotted a fire in a downtown apartment building.
The Hanover Evening Sun reports what they did next:
He and his wife swung their van around, realized the building was aflame, and rushed to get people out.
As his wife knocked on downstairs doors, Dwayne Long said he tried to rush up the front steps to the second floor, but the smoke was too thick.
Thanks to quick thinking, he and others were able to rescue a young girl on the upper floor.
The girl, whose name was not known Sunday night, lowered herself from a window onto a satellite dish mounted on the side of the house, said Tom Weaver, information officer with Southeastern Adams Volunteer Emergency Services.
The girl climbed on top of the Longs’ van they had pulled up to the west side of the house.

Shortly after the rescue, the FD arrived on the scene with heavy fire showing. Photographer Steve Roth was on the scene and tells us that about 13 people have been displaced from the fire. As of this morning the cause had not yet been determined.
Steve has a photo gallery of 36 images taken at the fire posted on his Flickr page HERE.
