A house fire in Orlando injured two individuals Monday evening, including a firefighter who was part of the rapid response team. The Orlando Fire Department was dispatched to a two-story home engulfed in flames on the 200 block of East Amelia Street. Upon arrival, crews quickly evacuated the structure and tackled the fire.

According to the information released by officials, one civilian suffered burn injuries during the incident and received prompt medical attention. The individual was transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center, where, as reported by ClickOrlando, their injuries were described as non-life-threatening. In addition to the civilian casualty, a firefighter was injured and taken to a nearby hospital for treatment, but details regarding the firefighter’s current condition have been withheld.

Determination of the fire's origin is underway, with the Orlando Fire Department’s Arson and Bomb Squad at the helm of the investigation. While officials have not explicitly cited foul play, this remains a question as they continue scrutinizing the events that led to the blaze. The damage to the home is extensive, a sobering reminder of fire's destructive power with scenes of charred walls and scattered debris. WESH provides additional details, noting that the fire was reported shortly before 5 p.m. and extinguished by 5:30 p.m.
