CHATTANOOGA (AP) - Chattanooga firefighters responding to a house fire had a scary moment when a live electrical wire fell across a fire engine.
It happened early Wednesday. Fire department spokesman Bruce Garner said the firefighters avoided electrocution by jumping from the engine, rather than stepping from it, so it did not create a circuit ground. There were no injuries.
The small wood frame house was vacant and was boarded up. A neighbor reported seeing a homeless man in the house recently, so firefighters searched to make certain no one was inside. No one was found.
The neighbor was taken to a hospital with burns to his hand from trying to pry boards off a window.
