ATTLEBORO, MA — April 19th — During the course of the night, the Attleboro Fire Department dealt with a number of situations, including car wrecks and the setting off of a commercial alarm.
Crews arrived at Angeline Street at Washington Street at around midnight after a car crashed into a retaining wall. After discovering the lone male occupant unconscious, firefighters used hydraulic rescue equipment to remove him in roughly ten minutes. The patient was sent to a hospital in Rhode Island after CPR was started. There was a dead dog inside the car.
Concurrently, workers looked into a fire alarm at an Olive Street manufacturing company, where smoke was linked to a broken motor belt. The building's ventilation was cleansed and the power was secured.
Earlier, firefighters handled a rollover crash on South Avenue near Interstate 95, where the driver self-extricated and declined transport. All incidents remain under investigation.
