STOW, Mass. — A Chelmsford firefighter will have a significant road to recovery after he fell 40 feet, landing on solid concrete at the Massachusetts Firefighter Academy in Stow yesterday.
28-year-old Nick Spinale suffered significant internal and external injuries which required transport via UMass Memorial Life flight.
At this time, according to Chelmsford Firefighters Local 1839, Spinale remains in the intensive care unit in Worcester where he is being treated for these life-threatening injuries.
The extent of injuries will require multiple surgeries and physical rehabilitation, according to Chelmsford Firefighters Local 1839.
