Firefighter injured responding to warehouse blaze in Fort Worth
A Fort Worth firefighter suffered a burn injury Friday morning battling a fire at a warehouse near Meacham Airport.
The firefighter was hospitalized, but the severity of his injuries is not clear.
The Fort Worth Fire Department responded to the 2-alarm fire just before 7 a.m. in an industrial area in North Fort Worth near Terminal Road and Weber Street.
The warehouse contains two companies. One of them, Echo Fibers, stores recyclables like cardboard and plastics. The color of the smoke is consistent with the burning of cardboard, the fire department said.
The other company in the building is a trucking business.
Employees were inside of the building when the fire began, but there were no injuries reported other than the firefighter.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
