Resident and firefighter injured in house fire
MILWAUKEE—A home in Riverwest goes up in flames injuring a woman and a firefighter inside.
Crews responded to the home near Booth and Wright St. around 6:00 a.m. Wednesday morning. The fire started outside, but quickly reached the rest of the house. A woman, approximately 60-years-old, who lived in the home was injured. She suffered non-life-threatening injuries, burns to the hands and smoke inhalation. She managed to get out and make it to a neighbor’s home, and was later taken to Columbia St. Mary’s hospital. A firefighter was injured when he fell through the floor. He was treated at the scene and released, he is now in good condition. The home suffered about $25,000 worth of damage and is probably a total loss. The building next door was also damaged in the blaze, police estimate about $5,000 in damage. The Milwaukee Fire Department is still trying to determine how the porch caught fire. |
