In Lancaster County a contractor working on a home landed on a
gold mine of dangerous chemicals.
The contractor contacted the fire departmen

The chemicals were used to test samples customers sent
to the company.
We're told the home owner is being very cooperative about the cl
ean up which will take place sometime early next week. The house is currentl
