HOUSTON — A firefighter is recovering in the hospital after he broke his leg battling a house fire Friday night.
ABC13 reported that arson investigators said something electrical sparked the fire.
Firefighters found heavy smoke pouring from the home as they arrived. Despite mechanical problems, firefighters said it took them just minutes to douse the flames.
“We had some mechanical problems when we got on location and had one firefighter get injured while we were hooking up the fire hydrant,” firefighter Scott Artze said.
The home’s garage and attic were damaged in the blaze.
