A Hernando County firefighter has been injured battling a fire in Brooksville.
 
When crews arrived to a home located at 28470 Soaring Hawk Lane, several other buildings near it were also on fire.
 
The Hernando Co. Fire Chief told Action News the firefighter suffered a heat stroke and is listed in stable condition.
 
Because of limited fire hydrants, several water tankers are being used to supply water.
 
No one was home at the time the fire started.
 
One of the buildings on fire is a barn-like structure storing paint and similar products.  There are no animals inside.
 
Pasco County Fire Rescue is also helping fight the fire.
 

The Florida State Fire Marshalls office has been requested to investigate.
