Fifteen firefighters are recovering after being injured while battling two house fires in Milwaukee.

Police say the fire was first reported at 7:41 p.m. Friday in an attic of a vacant house but spread to another house and quickly escalated.

The vacant house was destroyed, and 12 people living in three units in the second house were displaced.

Battalion Fire Chief Salvatore Santoro Jr. told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that some firefighters suffered minor injuries from falling off water-laden equipment. He said firefighters were taken to local hospitals; most received only bumps, bruises, scrapes and strains.
