Hey,
A Washington Township Firefighter was seriously injured
Sunday afternoon when he was pinned between two fire tanker trucks while
operating at a fire in Troy Township/Richland County. Firefighter
Josef Tadijanac, 45, was immediately treated and
transported to Riverside Methodist Hospital in Columbus. FF Tadijanac’s
left leg was crushed and he has undergone two surgeries to restore circulation
from the knee down. The fire was a garage fire that spread throughout the
single family dwelling.
We’ll keep you up to date on his progress and further
details.
