A Pompano Beach Fire Rescue firefighter was injured when he fell from a ground ladder during a fire at Lowther Automotive at 319 SW 14th Avenue. According to a department spokesperson the firefighter was not seriously injured.
In 2012, Pompano Beach Firefighter William Elliott fell 90-feet to his death during a drill with an aerial ladder at Fire Station 61.
A firefighter was injured Friday while battling flames at an automotive shop in Pompano Beach, authorities said.
“The force apparently from the fire hose caused him to tip and the ladder went over sideways. He fell as did a firefighter that was just below him on the ladder,” Pompano Beach Fire Rescue spokeswoman Sandra King said.
The firefighter is expected to be OK, but was taken to Broward Health North as a precaution.
