ST. LOUIS — One firefighter was injured Thursday fighting a two-alarm fire at a four-family home in the Shaw neighborhood Thursday morning.

The fire started at the home in the 3900 block of De Tonty Street around 11:30 a.m.

Firefighters say they had a “bad hydrant,” meaning water pressure wasn’t coming out of it. Trucks had to go to the other side of Interstate 44 to hook up to a working water supply to fight the fire in the two-story brick building. The fire started in the basement and heavily damaged the home.
