On Sunday, December 15, 2019 at 8:02 AM. Leetsdale, Sewickley and Fair Oaks Volunteer Fire Departments were dispatched to 100 Washington Street in Leetsdale at Hussey Copper for a worker with his hand caught in a machine. Leetsdale Assistant Chief Ernie Logan was the first to arrive on scene and upon entry in to the plant found that the other employees had already been able to release the mans hand from the machine and had him on a backboard waiting for first responders to arrive and begin treatment. Assistant Chief Logan did a primary assessment and began basic medical care for the injured worker. Valley Ambulance arrived very quickly and their paramedics took over patient care. The patient was in a lot of pain and Valley transported him to the trauma unit at Allegheny General Hospital. Units cleared the time a short time later.
