INDIANAPOLIS - Two Franklin Township firefighters were hurt during a hose testing exercise Thursday morning.
A 50 foot section of fire hose broke when the water pressure reached 300 pounds per square inch.
The metal coupling from that section of hose hit 29-year-old firefighter Sean Schembra in the head. Another firefighter, Justin Goff, suffered a knee injury.
Both were taken to Methodist Hospital. Schembra is listed in stable condition.

I was in charge of hose-testing this summer. I made sure that all members involved were wearing full turn-out gear with helmets.
If you don't have your gear on...go wait in the station until we are done testing and then you can clean up the hose.
