FIREFIGHTER CLOSE CALL IN MINNESOTA

Not approved by UL, makes you wonder if people really pay attention to the UL label on consumer products. I know they ban grills on decks in some residential housing complexes, they should also be banned

A Rochester firefighter was injured Saturday after using the wrong type of fire extinguisher at a fire in southeast Rochester.
Firefighters had responded about 2020 hours Saturday to a cooking fire in the 1600 block of Marion Road Southeast. A deep fat fryer used to fry turkeys was on a deck and started a fire that spread, according to Fire Marshall Vance Swisher.
Swisher said the firefighter, in his first year of service, suffered second-degree burns to his hands and face but didn't require hospitalization.
