Firefighters were called to the 2500 block of Wheeler Street early Wednesday morning.
The building on fire is a funeral home that was undergoing renovation. The fire was contained to the garage area.
About an hour after crews extinguished the flames at the funeral home, a fire truck caught fire.
Fire truck being towed! It’s dead after catching fire. RIP backup ship for Ladder 7! #abc13 https://t.co/7M3dNqy6b2 pic.twitter.com/iCSbMcoM6m

Yes – that’s a charred casket. The funeral home was undergoing a renovation. It caught fire overnight. Caretaker was the only one living on the property. Someone by saw smoke, called 911, then banged on the door waking up the caretaker. He’s safe! #abc13 https://t.co/7M3dNqy6b2 pic.twitter.com/s95vsnkMgZ
