Firefighter Injured, 5 People Displaced By Apartment Fire

A Janesville firefighter suffered minor injuries in a Sunday apartment fire which left five people without a home.  The firefighter needed stitches to his arm.  Fire crews responded to the location shortly before noon after getting 9-1-1 calls about smoke and fire in the building.  The fire apparently started in a first-floor bathroom, but the damage extended from the basement to the second floor.  The origin of the fire is still being investigated.  The total damage estimate is 100-thousand dollars.
