SOUTH BEND, Ind. - A firefighter was left with no injuries after falling through a hole in the floor while responding to a residential fire Monday morning, according to the South Bend Fire Department.
Crews responded to the scene, in the 1000 block of N. Elmer St., around 8 a.m. for the incident.
No residents were in the house at the time.
Firefighting in the home was made dangerous because of holes in the floors, windows being covered from the inside and a number of items in the home’s yard.
The firefighter that fell was able to pull himself out and continue working.
Crews are still looking into what caused the fire.
