A firefighter sustained a stab wound to his left arm while another crew member was injured by falling debris, though both received treatment and were released from Unity Clinic.
Fire service officials acknowledged community participation in locating the suspect and emphasized that public cooperation strengthens responder safety while ensuring accountability for those who interfere with emergency operations.
