A member of the Massachusetts Firefighting Academy support staff was taken to a hospital with serious injuries Tuesday morning after a fall at the academy’s Stow campus, officials said.
The staff member fell from the Stow campus Burn Building around 9:05 a.m. Tuesday, while preparing for recruit training, said Jake Wark, a spokesman for the Department of Fire Services.
Personnel at the academy, many of whom are EMTs and paramedics, began providing aid to the man and called 911, Wark said. The Stow and Sudbury fire departments went to the academy and took the man to a hospital, where he is being treated for serious injuries.
The Massachusetts Firefighting Academy has locations in Stow, Springfield and Bridgewater.
