Santa Rosa Firefighter Hospitalized With Minor Injuries After Early Morning Fire

SANTA ROSA (BCN) -- A firefighter was hospitalized with minor injuries after battling a structure fire in Santa Rosa early Wednesday morning, according to the city's Fire Department.

Crews responded at 4:56 a.m. to reports of a barn on fire at 2191 Zinfandel Ave. near homes and arrived to find a detached, one-story structure in flames and an adjacent building that was beginning to burn.
