One firefighter was injured after a fall while battling a blaze in southern Indiana.
It
happened Sautrday morning at a home near Vincennes. According to
Palmyra fire officials, that home was under construction when it caught
fire.
Even though no residents were inside at the time,
construction workers were at the house. Officials believe it stemmed
from a fire in the fireplace. That fire then spread to the roof.
Firefighters
were able to contain it. However, while they were exiting, officials
said one firefighter somehow accidentally fell from the balcony. He had
to be air lifted to an area hospital.
His condition is unknown. The fire is not being called suspicious.
