Dynamic Fire Event Burns Phoenix Firefighters

Two Phoenix (AZ) firefighters were burned, one badly, while conducting interior operations at a house fire Glendale Wednesday evening, according to a news report.

Speaking to azcentral.com (http://bit.ly/1v9hEmL), Glendale Fire Department Spokesman Danny Senese said conditions changed drastically during firefighting operations at the home, resulting in “a fireball” that drove firefighters from the interior of the building.

No one was inside the home, but Glendale Fire Chief Mark Burdic told reporters it was a possible hoarder situation.
