A Louisville firefighter was taken to the hospital after he was injured responding to a house fire in the Park Hill neighborhood Sunday afternoon.
Around 10:43 a.m., firefighters responded to a house fire in the 2200 block of Bolling Avenue, according to Louisville Fire Department Major Bobby Cooper.
Crews arrived on scene in two minutes and found a heavy fire coming from the second floor of a vacant home. Firefighters went inside, searched the building and began an interior fire attack.
Cooper said crews that were outside climbed to the roof of the home for ventilation operations. It took 10 minutes for 25 firefighters to bring the fire under control.
One firefighter, Sergeant Cory Trenholm, was injured after the porch roof collapsed. Cooper said Trenholm suffered a badly sprained ankle and was taken to the hospital.
No other injuries were reported. Louisville Fire Department Arson investigators are working to determine the cause of the fire.
