STRAWBERRY MANSION (WPVI) -- A firefighter was injured in a fast-moving fire that damaged a house in Philadelphia's Strawberry Mansion section early Friday morning.



The blaze started around 12:30 a.m. on the 1800 block of North Taylor Street.



Heavy flames were showing on the second floor when firefighters arrived.



Officials say the house was vacant and the fire then spread to a neighboring house with occupants.



Those residents were evacuated but were able to return to the house a short time later.



The fire rekindled around 4:00 a.m. and that's when a firefighter was injured.



He was taken to Temple University Hospital and has since been released.



There is no word on what sparked the blaze.
