INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Two firefighters were injured on the job late Sunday night after the roof of a home gave way.
Indianapolis Fire Department crews were called to a vacant home at 235 Parkview Ave. — which is southeast of the intersection of New York Street and State Avenue — just after 11 p.m. Sunday.
IFD Capt. Rita Reith said one firefighter fell through the home’s roof, injuring his shoulder when he was caught by beams.
The other firefighter injured his back while reaching out to grab his falling colleague.
Both firefighters were able to stay on the scene until the fire was out. They were both taken to the hospital afterward to be checked out.
