DALLAS - A Dallas firefighter was hurt while fighting a fire overnight.

A storage building caught fire around 11 p.m. Sunday on Prosper Street near Dallas Love Field Airport. It spread to the garage of a home and threatened neighboring homes.

The firefighter and others were trying to contain the flames. He slipped and fell as he was climbing a ladder to get to the roof of the home.

The injured firefighter was rushed to the hospital. He is expected to recover.

Even though the storage building was destroyed, the firefighters’ efforts did prevent the fire from spreading and causing too much damage.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
