FORT BRAGG, N.C. — Eight firefighters were injured Thursday after a fire started in a barracks under construction here.

Fort Bragg officials said that six firefighters suffered smoke inhalation and heat exhaustion, and were treated at Womack Army Medical Center. Two firefighters were transported to Cape Fear Medical Center.

The fire started Thursday morning in a three-story building under construction near the 4th Brigade Combat Team barracks.

A statement issued by base officials said the fire was extinguished about 1:30 p.m., more than three hours after firefighters first arrived on the scene.
