A firefighter suffered a medical emergency and eight people were displaced from their homes when two separate fires broke out almost simultaneously late Saturday afternoon in Hartford’s Frog Hollow section.
One blaze damaged a multifamily house on Jefferson Street, and the other badly damaged an apartment in a Park Street high-rise building.
Fire officials did not identify the firefighter or specify the medical emergency, but said it happened at the Jefferson Street fire. At 11 p.m., he was being treated at Hartford Hospital. No civilians were injured.
Firefighters were called to 24 Park Place at 5:07 p.
