LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A firefighter has been injured while battling a basement blaze at a Lincoln house.

Firetrucks were dispatched around 6:30 p.m. Thursday to a house about a mile south of the state Capitol. A family had gathered to share some pizza, but the smell of smoke interrupted the New Year’s Day meal. Two brothers found heavy smoke and flames in the basement.

Someone called 911, and the family members fled to safety.

Battalion Chief Jeanne Pashalek says the firefighter was to be hospitalized overnight for evaluation after apparently being shocked by a low-voltage source, such as an extension cord.
