A worker doing installation
work at Union Station suffered serious traumatic injuries after a
several thousand pound cabinet fell over on him on Monday evening,
January 22nd.
A rescue assignment was
dispatched to the railroad station for what was reported as a person
trapped under a piece of machinery. Firefighters were directed to
the chiller room in the bowels of the building, where they found the
injured man already removed from under the electrical cabinet.
He was treated and packaged by
personnel from Medic 2, Engine 6, and Rescue Squad 1, and rushed to
the Medstar trauma center.
