EXCLUSIVE: Indio house fire video shows moment roof collapses, injuring two firefighters

INDIO, Calif. (KESQ) - News Channel 3 has obtained exclusive video of a house fire response earlier this week that left two firefighters injured.

CALFIRE responded to the attic fire in the Heritage Palms Golf Club in Indio Monday afternoon when two firefighters fell through the roof.

Both responders were transported to a nearby hospital with minor injuries.

Division Chief, Bryan White, spoke with News Channel 3 on the incident, saying crews followed their training.

"There are a lot of things that the firefighters are evaluating on. Where's the best placement for the ladder? Which side of the building does it need to go on? Then again, once they get up there on the roof, they do that sounding technique, to make sure that they've got solid wood underneath their feet as they travel out," White said.

Still, he said determining a building's structural integrity can be hard.

"As the firefighters were up there sounding, like I said, that tile makes it very difficult to kind of feel what that will it is doing underneath you. Oftentimes, those tiles can link together like Legos and kind of give you a false sense of, structural integrity," White said.

CalFire officials said they will brush up on incident training, in light of the accident.
