A firefighter was hospitalized Monday after falling through a skylight while fighting a fire in Lancaster, according to reports.
Lancaster Fire Chief Todd Hutchinson told LancasterOnlinethat the firefighter fell about 10-12 feet from the second-floor roof of a home during a fire call in the 500 block of North Mary Street around 5 p.m.
The firefighter is expected to fully recover, but has an arm injury, Hutchinson said. He believes the firefighter’s vision may have been obstructed by smoke when he fell.
Although crews requested a mayday response, the firefighter was able to get out of the area he fell in by himself, according to the report.
The fire broke out just before 5 p.m. on the second and third floors of the residence, Hutchinson told the outlet. It was under control by around 5:45 p.m.
CBS21 reportsthat three homes were impacted by the fire, displacing one resident. Two homes sustained smoke damage from the fire.
There was no reported cause for the fire as of Monday evening.
