Asked about the extent of the injury, Merry said the firefighter will at least need stitches. He was being treated at MidCoast Hospital where he was taken after the approximately 7 p.m. incident, Merry said. He said the firefighter cut his thumb when a door shut on it.

He declined to name the firefighter.
