3 firefighters injured battling Temple Hills house fire

Three firefighters were injured while battling a house fire in Temple Hills, county fire officials said.

Shortly before 3 a.m. Wednesday, firefighters went to the 2900 block of Colebrooke Drive and found a single-family home with heavy smoke coming from the basement. Some firefighters made their way into the basement to extinguish the flames, and three firefighters positioned themselves at the top of a stairwell to prevent the fire from spreading from the basement to the first floor.
