Two firefighters suffered minor injuries Tuesday morning in a house fire along South Boulevard, authorities say.
The fire forced the closure of South Boulevard, in the area between Arrowood Road and Archdale Drive, during much of the morning commute.
The blaze was reported about 6 a.m. at a house in the 6500 block of Wisteria Drive, near South Boulevard. Charlotte fire Capt. Rob Brisley said it took a crew of 27 firefighters a little more than 40 minutes to subdue the blaze.
Two firefighters were treated at the scene, for heat-related dehydration.
All lanes of South Boulevard were closed for about an hour, but crews were able to open one lane in each direction about 7 a.m. The house was vacant and for sale, and an investigation into the blaze is under way.
