6 Firefighters Injured Battling Arcadia Blaze
One firefighter was hospitalized and five others were slightly injured fighting a house fire in Arcadia on Sunday.
Three of them were trapped briefly when the roof of the burning home on Oak Drive collapsed, Arcadia Fire Capt. Ken Marston said.
The hospitalized firefighter, a member of the Sierra Madre Fire Department, was not identified. He was being treated for carbon monoxide poisoning at a Pasadena hospital. The other firefighters were treated at and released from Arcadia Methodist Hospital.
About 40 firefighters from Arcadia and neighboring cities battled the “very intense fire,” the cause of which was not yet known, Marston said.
