Harrisburg: Pennsylvania State Capitol
The Pennsylvania State Capitol is the seat of government for the U.S. state of Pennsylvania located in downtown Harrisburg which was designed by architect Joseph Miller Huston in 1902 and completed in 1906 in a Beaux-Arts style with decorative Renaissance themes throughout. The capitol houses the legislative chambers for the Pennsylvania General Assembly, made up of the House of Representatives and the Senate, and the Harrisburg chambers for the Supreme and Superior Courts of Pennsylvania, as well as the offices of the Governor and the Lieutenant Governor. It is also the main building of the Pennsylvania State Capitol Complex.
The seat of government for the state was originally in Philadelphia, then was relocated to Lancaster in 1799 and finally to Harrisburg in 1812. The current capitol, known as the Huston Capitol, is the third state capitol building to be built in Harrisburg. The first, the Hills Capitol, was destroyed in 1897 by a fire and the second, the Cobb Capitol, was left unfinished when funding was discontinued in 1899.
President Theodore Roosevelt attended the building's dedication in 1906. After its completion, the capitol project was the subject of a graft scandal. The construction and subsequent furnishing cost three times more than the General Assembly had appropriated for the design and construction; architect, Joseph Huston and four others were convicted of graft for price gouging.
The Pennsylvania State Capitol is often referred to as a palace of art because of its many sculptures, murals and stained-glass windows, most of which are Pennsylvania themed or were made by Pennsylvanians. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 2006; the boundaries of the designation were expanded to include the Capitol Complex in 2013 with the capitol as a contributing property.

Hazmat fire - Tanker Truck
NOT FOR REBROADCAST!
This incident has closed Interstate 81 and Route 322 near Harrisburg, Pa. The road cloure is expected to last until May 14th (6 Days) and could take up to 3 months to repair the exit ramp.
Per PSP (Pennsylvania State Police)
Trooper Robert Hicks stated The crash occurred at 6:10 a.m. when the tanker, fully loaded with diesel (7,500 Gallons), overturned on the I-81 northbound ramp to 322 West near mile marker 67 The truck then caught fire and multiple explosions occurred The driver, a 52-year-old man from Dover, was able to escape the truck with minor burns. He was taken to Harrisburg Hospital.
PADOT (Pennsylvania Department of Transportation) spokeswoman Fritzi Schreffler said it appears the decking and beams of the overpass are in bad shape, and it is simply too dangerous to let cars travel underneath on I-81.
Currently I-81 north is closed at Route 581 in Cumberland County. I-81 south is closed at the 81/83 split.
This incident also closed Harrisburg Area Community College (HACC) due to the proximity of this incident.

5 alarm fire at the PennDOT high rise building in Harrisburg, PA
A short video put together from an old VHS collection of news clips and raw footage that was tracked down from a PennDOT employee's VHS camera.
On June 16, 1994 at 0607 the Harrisburg Bureau of Fire B-Platoon was awakened to Box 1-1,800 Commonwealth Ave at the PennDOT building for an automatic fire alarm. First in units discovered a large area of the 6th floor to be heavily involved with fire. The incident quickly escalated to 5 alarms plus numerous special calls and was brought under control in 2 hours and 14 minutes.
The Harrisburg Bureau of Fire turned out 51 firefighters to the scene and the surrounding mutual aid companies turned out over 200 volunteer firefighters. Environmental Protection Services was special called to set up a mass decon after asbestos was discovered on the fire floor. This massive decon took several hours to decontaminate over 250 firefighters, their gear, equipment and SCBA.
Multiple Firefighters were also treated for heat stroke, exhaustion and other medical conditions due to the high humidity and tempratures being in the mid 90's.
Local area EMS was also taxed due to this large scale incident.
The PennDOT building was later imploded on August 1st 1998 due to extensive damage on three floors of the building. Click the link for additional information and a short clip of the collapse

TRW Plant Chemical Fire 1986 Harrisburg Pennsylvania
In the night of February 3, 1986, an eight-alarm fire raged out of control for five hours in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. At one point officials concerned about the possibility of toxic fumes urged 17,500 people living in a two mile radius to stay indoors and keep windows closed. Chemicals in the plant included acids, caustic solvents and treatment plant sludge. About 1,000 gallons of nitric acid was released, but the spill was contained with a sand dike and pot ash was used to neutralize the acid. The 300,000-square-foot plant was originally built by the U.S. government in the early 1940s and was used by the Harrisburg Steel Corporation to make airplane engines. The site was sold to the state after World War II and leased to Thompson Products Company during the Korean War. Thompson produced engine parts and assemblies for jet-propelled military aircraft. The plant was later sold to TRW Corp which manufactured heat-treated and repaired turbines for jet engines. Before the fire, TRW was one of the top six private employers in Harrisburg, with 814 workers. Investigators believed the fire began in a machine used to bum holes in metal components. That ignited grease and oil and the fire spread up an adjacent catwalk and spread across the ceiling area, The damage estimate was in excess of $10 million, making it the most serious fire in Harrisburg history. In 2005, the site was purchased by Turbine Airfoil, a manufacturer of aircraft parts and equipment and employed 200 to make components for the aerospace, airplane, land and marine turbine engines. This fire occurred before the U.S. Congress passed the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) in 1986. This legislation included the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act (Title III), which laid the foundation for communities to prepare for and respond to emergency incidents involving hazardous substances. Title III also requires employers to assist in planning and to provide accurate information about the hazardous substances or chemicals they control.
In December 1986, OSHA issued an interim rule on Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) to work hand-in-hand with SARA Title III. Hazwoper, finalized in 1989, established safety and health requirements for employers for the protection of employees and requires the development of an emergency response plan. This plan is to be integrated with local, state, and Federal agency plans for local community emergency preparedness. For more information, go to .
