NIOSH Urges Caution After Ohio LODD
NIOSH investigators say a number of factors led to the death of an Ohio firefighter last year.
Ryan Neil Seitz, 26, was killed instantly when a pressurized water tank exploded and struck a hose reel. Part of that hose reel struck him in the head, according to the report released Thursday.
Seitz, a volunteer with McArthur Fire Department, had joined just over a month before and was scheduled to take his mandatory 36 hour training class in November.
