OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Three firefighters who were injured in a funeral home fire have been released from the hospital.
The Omaha Fire Department says the three firefighters who were sent to the Nebraska Medical Center Tuesday morning are now at home resting.
A fire department news release says heavy equipment is being used to assist with moving collapsed sections of the building. Fire investigators were working with funeral home employees Tuesday to remove bodies removed from the building.
Firefighters were dispatched around 3:20 a.m. Tuesday to the Heafey-Hoffmann-Dworak & Cutler Mortuary on West Center Road.
A fourth person who was injured, co-owner Bill Cutler, received about 15 stitches.
The cause of the fire is still being investigated.
