A Sioux City firefighter fell through the floor while operating at a house fire.
Fellow firefighters quickly rescued their colleague, who was transported to a hospital for minor injuries. He was later released.
“So these are things that we prepare for. It’s not an often occurrence that we have people fall through floors, but it is something that we have to be prepared. So, we do our Mayday trainings. We do mock scenarios where we fall through floors or get entangled by debris from ceiling tiles or grid work for suspended ceilings. Things of that nature," Sioux City Firefighter John Nelsen told KCAU.
Two dogs and a cat perished in the fire that remains under investigation.
