A CLOSE CALL this morning in Milwaukee as a Firefighter jumped into a snow bank to put himself out while operating at a working 2.5 story dwelling fire. The FF is being treated for first and second degree burns.
NOTE: Initial reports are that one of the civilians was working on a gas tank in the basement , that civilian suffered singed hair, some smoke inhalation and a burned hand when the tank caught fire…..and following that, upon arrival, 2 Firefighters tried to remove the tank…the gasoline was sloshing back and forth, the tank spilled out, it erupted into a fireball and 3 firefighters were hurt. 1 FF has second degree burns on his back, on both wrists, on the side of his face and his hair is burned off. The 2 other firefighters are being treated for smoke inhalation and another suffered minor injuries. Update to follow on our home page.
