A Milwaukee firefighter was punched as he tried to stop a man from going back into a burning home on Thanksgiving.

A captain and a battalion chief also were hit when they tried to intervene.

"We understand this is horrible. We're there because it's horrible. When it trips over into violence, you'll find far less concern with how somebody else is feeling when they're attacking my firefighters. Because there's no cause for it," Milwaukee Fire Chief Aaron Lipski told WISN

The firefighters were not injured. 

Charles Wynn was arrested by police.
