A firefighter was injured battling a second-alarm blaze that broke out in the attic of a home in Rancho Mirage Saturday.
The fire was reported at 7:39 a.m. at a 4,000-square-foot-property in the 72000 block of Verbenia Road, according to the Riverside County Fire Department.
The injured firefighter was taken to a hospital with a minor wound, and no other injuries were reported.
It took 50 firefighters nearly an hour and a half to knock the flames down, though no residents were displaced, a fire official said.
