A Cincinnati firefighter suffered a minor injury after being struck by a falling gutter at a house fire in Bond Hill Sunday.

District Four Fire Lt. Ron Wilkins, a 10-year veteran, was wearing his helmet and is expected to recover, Cincinnati fire officials said. He was treated and released at University Hospital.

When Lt. Wilkins and about 25 other firefighters responded to a one-alarm fire at 5415 Newfield Ave. about 6:12 a.m., flames were shooting from a window of the one-story brick house.

No one was home at the time. Damages were set at $50,000.

The fire started in the basement, and arson was suspected.
