LINCOLN, Neb. - A Lincoln firefighter was shocked while fighting a blaze at a duplex.

Firetrucks were dispatched a little before 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, and firefighters found flames on the vacant side of a duplex.

Fire officials say a firefighter struck electrical cords with a tool while attempting to bring down a ceiling tile.

The firefighter was taken to a hospital but was back on duty Sunday afternoon. His name was not released.

The fire cause is still being investigated. The vacant side of the duplex is being renovated.
