Video: Field & house fire in Greeley, Colorado. Two firefighters hurt.

The Tribune reports one firefighter suffered exhaustion and another a knee injury in this field and house fire Monday evening in Greeley, Colorado. In the video above by Aaron S. Cathcart, one firefighter on the line falls at about the 2:00 point and is taken away by ambulance. The fire was at 83rd Avenue and 10th Street.

Here is an excerpt from the article by Mike Peters:

About seven fire engines were at the scene, both from Greeley and from Windsor, providing mutual aid.

When the firefighters arrived, the fire had spread from a silage pit toward the house. Firefighters checked the house to make certain no one was home, but because of the winds, they weren’t able to stop the fire from moving to the house.

“In many cases, the wind was blowing so hard, it just dispersed the water, so it wasn’t extinguishing any of the fire,” (Greeley FD spokesman Dale) Lyman said.
