NEW SCOTLAND, N.Y. — A firefighter is in the hospital after being injured in a large structure fire Tuesday morning.

News10 reported that the unnamed firefighter was hurt in a fire that required crews to drag around 750 feet of hose into the woods because their trucks could not make it in.

The fire was called in by a neighbor who said it was so large that it could be seen through the woods.
