Two Los Angeles Firefighters fell through the roof of a burning two-story home in Los Feliz Saturday, but only suffered minor injuries, officials said.
The firefighters were above the second floor of a very-large house when one of them was chopping a hole in the burning structure. He fell in the hole, and a second firefighter followed him into the hole, a witness told a freelance TV journalist.
The fire was first reported amongst a row of mansion along a hilly section of Los Feliz Boulevard midway between Vermont and Western avenues in an upper-income section of Los Feliz, just south of the Greek Theater. The fire department said the fire was reported at 4920 Los Feliz Blvd. at 12:34 a.m.
As the fire burned through two floors and into the attic, two firefighters fell through the second floor to the first, Los Angeles Fire Department spokeswoman Melissa Kelley said.

It’s very fortunate that both men are alright. It goes to show that not only “Truckies” run the risk of falling through.
