Fire is supposed to wake people — alarms, heat, light — every instinct screaming run. But in 1983, a fire tore through a small Pennsylvania town while most of its residents slept soundly in their beds.

The blaze burned for six hours.
The fire department was only six blocks away.
Nobody called.
They call it the Town That Slept Through the Fire.
