Firefighter Injured in Three-alarm Blaze

A firefighter was injured as crews fought a three-alarm house fire on Belton Street overnight.

The fire reportedly began on the back deck of the two-story home at 2 Belton Street around 1 a.m., then quickly spread to the house, according to reports. Smoke quickly filled the house as the fire made its way into the walls.

Part of the back porch collapsed, followed by a “mayday” call for an injured firefighter, who was quickly rescued and taken out by ambulance. Crews got the fire under control after a third alarm went out.

Arlington Fire Department officials had no further comment on the injured firefighter. His condition is unknown at this time. Refresh this page for more information as it becomes available.
