I do have to agree with the commenter that mentioned finding it odd that the writer put "No firefighters were injured in putting out the blaze" in the article for I too found it odd.
By the time I got to that last paragraph I had already learned of the minor injuries suffered by the inhabitants and that they had not been seriously injured and thus allowed myself a chuckle at the the fact that sentence was there. :)
And I agree that firefighting experience is not necessary to know that firefighter injuries are rare in fires responded to by well trained departments.
However, I do have firefighting experience with training in both structural and wildland firefighting previously holding state certifications in both and a federal certification in wildland firefighting as well as an EMT certification in another state and have responded to literally 100s of calls. And, in my experience, it is rare that that a firefighter suffers anything more serious than minor smoke inhalation. In fact, I don't remember a single incident in which any of my fellow firefighters required any medical attention for an injury suffered at an incident site in the years that I was involved in those departments. We were trained to protect ourselves first so that we could be part of the solution and not part of the problem.
My comments were on the writing not the fact that this family has experienced a terrible thing and I feel for them.
Firefighting experience is not necessary to realize that firefighter injuries in a fire are the exception, not the rule, all one needs to do is to follow the news.
Keep it all negative next time.
Glad no firefighters were injured. Thoughts and prayers go out to this family. A house burning down is a tough thing to go through.

Really?
Odd reporting since most writers would only mention firefighter injuries if there were some and thus were news.
You seem to be implying that it is unusual for there not to have been any firefighter injuries. In most fires responded to by professional, well trained, fire departments there are no firefighter injuries, thus the fact that there were none is not news. That is unless you're saying that in most fires around here there are firefighter injuries and thus the fact that there were none at this fire is unusual and thus news.
If you're going to report on things that didn't happen, why not also report everything else that didn't occur?
"There were no traffic accidents involving fire trucks during the response to this fire."
"No neighbors were injured by the fire."
"No pets or livestock were injured by the fire."
"No police were injured responding to the fire."
And on and on.
