VIDEO - A Petersburg firefighter was almost crushed on the job on Monday morning after part of a home collapsed while he battled flames.
"There was so much fire you couldn't see where the door was,” said Cody Edlin, one of two firefighters injured.
In no time, the front porch of the home on South Dunlop Street collapsed, falling on the firefighters.
"We just heard a loud pack. I just looked up and saw everything fall on top of me," Edlin said.
The firefighter was literally trapped under rubble. He says it all happened so quickly he can barely remember that moment of impact.
"It was no time to even think,” Edlin said.
