more at the links(CNN) -- At least two firefighters were shot when they arrived to battle a blaze at a house in upstate New York on Monday, officials said.
Authorities believe someone shot at the firefighters shortly after they exited their vehicles, said Rob Boutillier, fire marshal in the town of Webster, New York.
The gunfire stopped firefighters from battling the blaze and forced police SWAT teams to evacuate homes in the area.
Firefighters arrived at the scene before 6 a.m., Boutillier said. By 9 a.m., flames had engulfed three houses and a vehicle, he said.
