FIREFIGHTER INJURED DURING MAINTENANCE TEST

By Daniel Finney

A firefighter was killed during a maintenance test when a coupling failed while testing a fire hose and it struck the firefighter in the head.

The 19-year-old was wearing bunker gear at the time of the accident. Emergency medical respondents performed first aid on the man and he was then flown to Erlanger Medical Center in order to be treated.

According to officials, when the hose was put under pressure, one of the couplings failed. Luckily, the man was wearing a safety helmet and goggles, which prevented his injury from being more severe. Routine checks are done frequently at this fire station in order to make sure that the equipment is functioning normally.

If you or a loved one has been injured after the failure of defective firefighter equipment, you need experienced representation on your side. Contact the St. Louis defective firefighter equipment attorneys of the Finney Law Office today by calling 314-646-0300.
