It took Ottawa firefighters more than an hour to free a man’s hand from a commercial bread-making machine at a business in Orleans.
The victim suffered serious injuries in the incident at a business at Jeanne D’Arc Boulevard, between Orleans Boulevard and Millwood Court, Friday morning.
Emergency crews responded to a call at 11:13 a.m. Friday for a man with his hand stuck in a bread-making machine at a business.
Ottawa Fire says it took firefighters involved in an "extremely intricate extrication" more than an hour to remove the individual’s hand from the machine.
Firefighters had to carefully take apart the machine piece-by-piece to free the man.
The victim’s hand was freed from the machine at 12:36 p.m., and he was transferred into the care of paramedics.
Ottawa Paramedics say the man was transported to hospital in serious but stable condition with injuries to his hand and fingers.
Officials would not release the name of the business.
The extrication took @OttFire Firefighters over an hour to complete. @OttawaParamedic were providing patient care throughout the entire process. #OttNews
