Firefighter injured in vacant apartment fire

A firefighter was injured early Monday morning while battling a vacant apartment house blaze on the 1200 block of Arrott Street.

Executive Chief Clifford Gilliam said flames were seen on the roof of the three-story building when firefighters arrived at about 1 a.m. Monday. Several fire companies fought the fire for more than two hours before it was put under control, the captain said. One firefighter suffered minor injuries, he said.
