The firefighter – who was not named – suffered a minor burn injury and was treated on the scene, the release says. No other injuries were reported.
The release says that crews were called at 12:13 a.m. and arrived five minutes later. The home had visible flams and black smock coming from the back of the building, the release says. Firefighters were initially told a victim may have been trapped in the home, though no victims were found, the release says.
