'I cried when I was told I was finished as a firefighter' court hears in 'slip' case

A fireman who claims he suffered a career-ending injury when he allegedly slipped on stairs during a training fire drill has sued in the High Court.

Liam Kelly told the High Court he was carrying a ‘dummy casualty,' with a colleague and was going backwards down a stairs in a three-man blind man shuffle in a dark building when the accident happened five years ago.
