BATTLE CREEK, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – A fireman was injured Friday morning at an apartment fire in southeast Battle Creek.
Fire officials say around 9:45 a.m., emergency crews were sent to 60 Greentree Blvd. for a reported structure fire.
Responding fire crews found smoke coming from the attic. After they removed the ceiling to gain access to the attic, the fire was extinguished.
The Battle Creek Fire Department said that the fire was caused by a contractor who was using a salamander heater which caused some plastic to catch fire. The fire then quickly spread up the wall and into the attic space.
One firefighter injured their back on the scene. No one else was injured.
