The State Fire Marshal’s office says the firefighter fell through the first floor and into the basement of the residence while trying to extinguish the flames.
A firefighter from Aetna Hose Hook and Ladder Company was injured when he fell through part of the first floor into the basement.
Fellow crew members used a ladder to pull him to safety. He was later taken to Christiana Hospital where he was treated and released.
