A firefighter was taken to the hospital after suffering an injury while battling two house fires in Dallas on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Dallas Fire-Rescue (DFR) crews were sent to a house located at 6931 Echo Bluff Dr. around 6:26 p.m. after someone called 911 reporting a fire.<\/p>\n
Firefighters observed heavy fire conditions in the back of the home when crews arrived at the one-story residence.<\/p>\n
Hand lines were deployed, and crews initiated an offensive attack, but the fire began spreading to a neighboring home at 6933 Echo Bluff Dr., resulting in the dispatch of a second alarm response.<\/p>\n
No human occupants of the home were injured, but DFR personnel were able to resuscitate a cat.<\/p>\n
One firefighter was taken to the hospital after suffering a non-life-threatening injury to an upper extremity during fire operations.<\/p>\n
The fire was brought under control around 7:15 p.m., but DFR personnel continued working the scene to knock down hot spots and ensure no further extension before officially declaring the fire extinguished.<\/p>\n
The house of origin sustained severe damage, while the house it spread to sustained damage to the roof and attic on the side.<\/p>\n
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A firefighter was taken to the hospital after suffering an injury while battling two house fires in Dallas…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":415070,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,104,103],"class_list":["post-415069","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/415069","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=415069"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/415069\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/415070"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=415069"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=415069"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=415069"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
