Firefighter Treated for Minor Injuries Following 2 Alarm House Fire in New Castle County

A firefighter sustained minor injuries during the response to a two-alarm fire in Wilmington, Delaware, on Tuesday afternoon.

The incident occurred shortly after 12:30 p.m. on North Lombard Street's 800 block. Firefighters rushed to the location following reports of a house fire. Upon arrival, smoke was visible from the roof of a two-story rowhome.
