The Columbus fire
division says a firefighter searching a vacant building in an arson case
fell between levels and suffered back and rib injuries.
The
division says firefighters responding early Friday morning found heavy
smoke and fire at a two-story building in a residential area southeast
of downtown. A firefighter fell from the first floor into the basement
during the initial search.
His injuries were not considered life-threatening. No other injuries were reported.
Investigators say they have "people of interest" in the case and are trying to find those individuals.
Firefighters didn't say how the blaze began. The damage was estimated at $70,000.
