Nebraska Firefighter Falls Through Floor
OMAHA, Neb. --
An Omaha firefighter fell through the floor while battling a fire at a vacant house near North 31st and Charles streets.
Officials said the firefighter was injured shortly arriving at the scene. Apparently there was a hole in the first floor and the firefighter didn't see it. He fell in but didn't go all the way to the basement, stopping at his shoulders, officials said.
He wasn't seriously hurt and continued to battle the blaze.
Crews said the bitter wind chills made fighting this fire especially difficult and created dangerous working conditions for everyone who responded.
