5 Beaumont Firefighters injured

[Guest guest]

5 Beaumont (Texas) Firefighters were injured in a single family dwelling

fire this morning. One of the Firefighters that was airlifted as he sustained

burns to 34 percent of his body, primarily his back, and 14 percent of those

burns were third degree. The second firefighter airlifted to UTMB has burns to

his face. A third firefighter received minor injuries and two others were

treated at the scene for minor injuries.

There was a MAYDAY transmitted prior to this.

The house was not occupied at the time of the fire and investigators have

determined the cause of the fire was a small space heater sitting too close to

a bed. Details will follow on our home page or here as needed.

Take Care-BE CAREFUL.
