Two firefighters were injured while battling a fire in a vacant row house Monday in Trenton, New Jersey.
The fire started in the basement of the structure at around 2:30 a.m., according to a report from the Times of Trenton (http://bit.ly/172C6Jq). Flames extended to the first floor and exterior and eventually into the second-story attic.
One firefighter suffered slight first-degree burns to the face while another suffered from heat exhaustion. Both were transported to an area hospital, treated, and released.
An attached row home was damaged by smoke, displacing a family of five.
