Officials are investigating an early morning fire that injured a Wilmington firefighter Monday.
At 1:03 AM Wilmington Firefighters on the D-platoon were alerted to a residential structure fire at 417 E.10th Street, according to Battalion Chief John Looney.
Looney said Fire Department units arrived on scene to find fire showing from the second floor rear of a two-story middle of the row dwelling. Crews from Engine 2 and Squad 3 immediately stretched a fire attack hose and made an aggressive interior attack, finding fire conditions on the second floor in a rear bedroom with extension into the attic.
The incident commander, Battalion Chief Michael Harris, arrived on scene and requested a fourth engine for the rapid intervention team assignment and an additional Ladder company to assist with rooftop ventilation.
