JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. — One Jeffersonville firefighter was injured in a house fire on Holmans Lane early Friday morning.
Jeffersonville Fire Department Chief Eric Hedrick said the firefighter was treated for first and second-degree burns to the face from radiant hear. The firefighter was released back to work later in the morning.
Around 25 firefighters responded to 3210 Holmans Lane near Brian Drive at 6:41 a.m. after a driver passing by reported the fire, Hedrick said. The ranch-style home was unoccupied and the fire was believed to have originated in an attached garage.
“The investigation of the cause is still ongoing, but anytime that we have an unoccupied house catch on fire we’re always interested,” Hedrick said.
The fire was under control by 7:02 a.m. No other homes were affected.
