The injury was described as very minor, and the firefighter\u2019s protective gear helped prevent more serious injuries.<\/p>\n<p>Crews contained the fire to an outbuilding and debris in the backyard, preventing it from extending into the home. No one had been displaced, though the incident remained active and utility shutoffs could be needed.<\/p>\n<p>Firefighters also encountered downed power lines that made it difficult to access the backyard. Crews fought the fire from neighboring yards and through the home. Because of the power lines, firefighters were unable to use a ladder truck, but they used a deck gun from the top of an engine to spray water over the home onto the burning outbuilding. The downed power line was later secured.<\/p>\n<p>The non-ambulatory resident was evaluated by EMS, though it was not immediately clear whether the person would need to be taken to the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>The incident was a two-alarm fire, with additional resources called in when crews went into rescue mode. With high temperatures, firefighters were also monitored to ensure they stayed hydrated and avoided heat-related injuries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FRESNO, Calif.
