VIDEO: A Milwaukee firefighter was hurt while battling a house fire yesterday. He spoke to CBS 58 for the first time. Lt. Tom McMenamin will need surgery on his wrist and elbow-but he told us he's grateful it wasn't worse. The lieutenant tells us this was a pretty routine call-a vacant apartment building caught fire. The smoke was waist deep so it was very difficult to see what's going on. The lieutenant thought he was reaching for an apartment door, but instead he fell off a balcony, from the second floor, to the first floor.
