A firefighter was injured when a shard of glass became lodged in his leg while he was crawling in a Duane Street home during a fire. Clyde Fire Chief Craig Davis did not identify the firefighter, citing medical reasons, but said he was taken to University of Toledo Medical Center to have the shard removed after being injured in the fire on Friday night and will be out of service for two weeks while he recovers. "He was on the attack team crawling in the house when the shard went through his gear and into knee," Davis said. "The glass broke off and he was taken to Bellevue." Davis said the firefighter was taken from The Bellevue Hospital to Toledo to have the emergency surgery because the glass was close to his knee. An orthopedic surgery team removed the glass.
