Two Cedar Rapids firefighters were seriously injured when a hose came loose and hit them on the scene of an apartment fire early Sunday.
Spokesman Craig Buelow says one firefighter suffered a concussion and another was hit in the chest. “There was a breach in the hose and it swung and hit them. It was an inch-and-three-quarter line so that would be the equivalent with a frozen line like that of about an inch-and-three-quarter diameter pipe smacking somebody in the head or chest,” Buelow says.
