A Tea family of six is now homeless after a devastating fire Sunday morning. Fortunately, they still have each other as no one was seriously hurt in the blaze. However, Tea Volunteer Fire First Assistant Chief Steven Oberle said there was a scary moment after a firefighter fell through the floor of the burning home. “He went around the corner and was on the floor and then next thing you know, it just went out from underneath him,” said Asst. Chief Oberle. While sounding the floor during the house fire, a Tea Volunteer Firefighter found himself trapped in the basement after the floor fell through. Oberle said he alerted his teammates of the fall and the RIT, or Rapid Intervention Team, sprang to action.
