Tuesday, September 7, 2010 In Massachusetts early this morning, a Somerville resident was injured after what appeared to be a freak accident at a fire scene. Initial details are that Firefighters were operating at a 2 alarm dwelling fire when a fire hose (apparently a supply line being laid) took down a fence in a nearby yard. The hose, which was attached to a hydrant, also took down a sign, which struck the resident in the head. The man, 48, suffered a fractured neck and a serious laceration on his head but was expected to recover. Reports are that the hose became entangled in another apparatus rear-wheel and that's what caused the problem. A Firefighter was at the hydrant waiting to charge the line and was also knocked in into the air and landed on the ground but was not injured.
