Eight police officers hurt in Kensington fire

Eight police officers were injured in a fire that broke out in Kensington last night. The blaze started in an apartment building on Maple Street and quickly spread to neighboring units. The officers were responding to a call for assistance when they were caught in the flames.

Emergency services rushed to the scene and were able to evacuate all residents from the building. The injured officers were taken to the hospital with varying degrees of burns and smoke inhalation. Their conditions are currently being monitored.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but early reports suggest it may have been started by a faulty electrical outlet. The building has been deemed uninhabitable and residents are being assisted in finding temporary housing.

Our thoughts are with the injured officers and all those affected by this devastating fire. We wish them a speedy recovery and hope that the investigation will bring answers and solutions to prevent such tragedies in the future.
