Nov. 23, 2020
Raw video shows a Bakersfield firefighter was nearly struck by a roof's ornamental overhang that fell while battling a blaze at an abandoned structure.

Raw video captured a part of a burning roof falling narrowly missing a California firefighter during a call Sunday.

Bakersfield crews responded to an abandoned structure fire at about 7:30 p.m., KGET-TV reports. As they were dousing the flames, the front portion of the building's roof collapsed, nearly hitting a firefighter, who quickly avoided the burning debris.

It was not clear if any injuries were reported or what sparked the blaze, KGET added.
