One firefighter suffered smoke inhalation and the other a leg injury. Two residents were also burned and taken to a hospital.
Fire Chief Luis Santiago and at least one other high-ranking fire official used the smoke-detector trust fund to pay for hotel rooms, conference costs and dinners.

Tough call for these firefighters. Our condolences to the victims' family and friends.
