Porch Collapse Injures Two Okla. Firefighters

Three Tulsa firefighters were injured while battling an apartment fire Saturday.

Crews said they could see the flames while responding to the Deerfield Estates Apartments around 11:30 a.m.

Two firefighters were burned when a balcony collapsed on them, Capt. Stan May told Newson6.com. They will visit a burn specialist for further treatment today.

Another firefighter suffered rib injuries when a ceiling collapsed.

May said all three were treated and released Saturday afternoon.

A child was treated for smoke inhalation by EMSA crews at the scene.

Officials said the fire started with improperly discarded smoking materials.
