As firefighters battled the blaze, live power lines fell onto a fire truck, escalating the danger, police said. The fire was extinguished a short time later.
One firefighter injured his knee and was taken to a hospital for treatment, officials said. The other injured firefighter refused medical attention, police said.
Arnold Avenue was closed between Elwood Road and Arlington Road because of the fire, police said.
