LAWRENCEBURG, Tenn. (WTVF) — Three firefighters in Lawrence County are OK Friday night after being trapped while responding to a house fire.
Authorities said they were actively putting out flames on Redhill Center Road when the three transmitted a call for help. Part of the house collapsed, bringing debris with heavy fire on top of the firefighters.
Officials said they were separated as a result of the collapse. Two were extricated and one found a way out through a doorway.
The three did sustain not life-threatening injuries but are being treated at Southern Tennessee Hospital.
As we honor those who have served our country and made the ultimate sacrifice, it is also heartening to see the military right a wrong. Chris Davis brings us the moving story of a Purple Heart ceremony two decades in the making. It's worth a watch.
A heartfelt thanks to all who bravely serve.
