Three Firefighters Injured in Glendale (AZ) House Fire



According to a report from ABC15, three firefighters were injured fighting a house fire near 43rd and Northern avenues in Glendale, Arizona, Monday night after a fire ignited in the kitchen after a woman left food that was cooking unattended.

Glendale and Phoenix Fire Department crews were dispatched with reports of smoke coming from the back of the home as well as a possible fire in the attic. Firefighters arrived on scene and were able to control the fire to avoid it from spreading.

Three firefighters suffered minor burns and were treated at a local hospital.

Large amounts of fire and smoke were pouring from the structure, leading crews to cut holes in the roof to access it.
