A firefighter was injured Wednesday morning after a house fire in the east Las Vegas Valley.

The firefighter was taken to UMC with minor injuries to the ankle, Las Vegas Fire Department said. There were no other injuries, as the house was unoccupied.

The fire occurred just after 5 a.m. at 2105 Ballard Drive, near Eastern Avenue and Charleston Boulevard, the Fire Department said.

Neighbors told the Fire Department Rescue that a squatter had been staying in the home and that the house has burned before.

Damages are estimated at $15,000.
