Injured Firefighters Recovering at Home
DELAVAN, Wis. (AP) -- All 10 firefighters injured fighting a fire at a popular sports bar in the southern Wisconsin town of Delavan have been released from area hospitals.
Delavan Fire Chief Gerald Edwards tells the Janesville Gazette that several of the injuries were caused when a bucket truck touched a power line.
Edwards says the firefighter in the bucket couldn't see the line due to the thick black smoke from the Friday afternoon fire at Mulligan's Sports Bar & Grill.
The firefighters suffered various injuries. At least two were briefly hospitalized. One firefighter suffered serious burns. Edwards says all the firefighters were released by Saturday.
The blaze apparently started as a grease fire in the kitchen. The building was a total loss.
