While firefighters were at the scene, police arrested a driver for allegedly driving under the influence and running over a fire hose being used to battle the blaze.
A 21-year veteran firefighter working at the scene was taken to a nearby hospital after saying he didn't feel well but OFD reports he is in stable condition.
