APPARATUS ACCIDENTS
TRAINING NOTEBOOK
A few months ago, our rescue truck was involved in a collision with a private citizen’s vehicle at an intersection. The driver of the automobile was seriously injured, while our driver suffered broken ribs. Two rescue truck passengers, although shaken up, escaped injury. Our department rescue truck came to rest on its side and burst into flames (it doesn’t happen only in the movies). Fortunately, no lives were lost, although the automobile and rescue truck both w ere total losses and a great deal of equipment w as destroyed by the impact and fire.
