OAKLAND â Two firefighters received minor injuries in a house fire on Tuesday evening, after falling through a floor.
Oakland Fire Chief Brant Miller said the Oakland, Carson and Hancock Fire Departments were called out at about 9:49 p.m. Tuesday for a residential fire on Gates Street in Oakland.
On arrival crews were faced with heavy fire at the rear of the building. They knocked down fire on the exterior of the structure, and entered the building to work on the fire inside.
At that time, two firefighters fell through the floor into the basement when a portion of the floor collapsed.
