Fire at gas station nearly kills fireman when structure collapses

A firefighter was almost killed while tackling a blaze at a gas station.
Dramatic video footage shows the entire front of the building in Iron Mountain, Michigan, collapse, trapping the fireman underneath.
The man, who has not been named, was trapped for around two minutes as other rescuers frantically tried to free him by removing the burning hot debris that had fallen around him.
Onlookers applauded when they realized the firefighter had been rescued, and was standing while crew members helped to get him medical care.
The firefighter was treated for burns at Dickinson County Memorial Hospital and released.
Fire crews were dispatched just after 3pm on Saturday afternoon after there were reports of smoke coming through the building.
Flames were seen shooting through the roof as the blaze consumed the entire EZ Stop storefront and a portion of the Burger King restaurant.
It was soon after crews arrived on scene that one was caught out by the falling portion of the building.
A second Iron Mountain firefighter suffered smoke inhalation and both were transported to hospital.
The fire was declared under control at about 6pm and all fire crews cleared the scene at about 8.15pm.
