Fire destroyed a Dunbar Township home early Tuesday, injuring two firefighters who responded to the blaze.
Officials said the family home of Gary Henry at 302 Ridge Blvd. caught fire around 5:30 a.m. Two adults inside managed to get out safely, but Jacob Hair, a firefighter at Morrell Volunteer Fire Company, and Brandon OâNeil, a firefighter at South Connellsville Volunteer Fire Department, were injured.
One slipped on ice and dislocated his shoulder, while the other retained second-degree burns. Both were transported to Uniontown Hospital for treatment and released.
Doug Grimm Jr., fire chief at Morrell, said they believe the fire was accidental, but they have called the fire marshal to the scene to confirm it.
