Humboldt Firefighter Burned In Thanksgiving Fire  By Empriss
Campbell  GIBSON COUNTY, Tenn. - Firefigher Michael Lewis
suffered minor burns to the side of his face, ears and hands
while trying to put out a fire on 17th Avenue in Humboldt.  The
Humboldt Fire Department is relieved to say one of their own
made it out of the fire alive.  "I think he saw a small fire in
there evidently something escalated from that point.," said Lt.
Robert Carruthers.  One neighbor said she saw a firefighter
lying on the ground outside of the house.  "There was somebody
on the ground it was a firefighter we didn't know if he burned
his face or something or if the smoke had gotten to him," said
Frances Aguirre.  According to neighbors a woman and her son
lived in the house. Neighbors say both of them escaped the fire
and are doing okay.  Lieutenant Caruthers said Lewis was taken
to the MED in Memphis and doing well.  The Humboldt Fire
Department says they are investigating the cause of the fire.
