Four Los Angeles County firefighters
were injured when they fell through the roof of a vacant casino during a
two-alarm fire in Cudahy, officials said Friday.
The fire was reported at the Club Caribe
Casino in the 7600 block of Atlantic Avenue about 11:30 p.m. Thursday, where
crews arrived and found plumes of black smoke and flames shooting through the
3,000-square-foot building.
Four firefighters were on the roof,
cutting holes for ventilation, when it caved in about midnight, said
supervising fire dispatcher Ed Pickett.
Three firefighters suffered cuts and
bruises but were otherwise fine. They were treated at the scene and released. A
fourth firefighter suffered unspecified burns and was taken to a hospital,
Pickett said.
Crews extinguished the blaze about 2
a.m.; its cause was under investigation.
In March, a Fresno firefighter was
critically injured when he fell during a house fire as the roof collapsed
beneath him, dropping him into a pit of flames.
