HAMILTON, N.J. — A suspicious two-alarm fire damaged a vacant home in the 230 block of South Clinton Avenue Wednesday afternoon, injuring a firefighter, officials said.

Police officers arrived at the two-story home shortly before 1 p.m. and found heavy smoke pumping from the second floor, Hamilton police said. Firefighters arrived a short time later and were able to contain the fire to the second floor, fire officials said.

One firefighter suffered a non life-threatening injury after falling through the floor from the second floor to the first. District 3 Firefighter Dave Krueger later identified himself on Facebook. “Fell through a floor from the 2nd to the 1st in a fire. Wanted to thank the crew of Engine 19, Aaron Heller, Sean M Golden, and John Smisloff, for being right there as I landed,” Krueger wrote in a post.
