Providence firefighters have been disciplined after their engine rolled away and hit a building.
Firefighters discovered the rig was missing when they came out of an assisted living building following a call on Nov. 7.
They found that Engine 9 had rolled down a hill and came to rest against a building, WPRI reported.
There were no injuries. Both the rig and the building sustained minor damage.
An internal investigation revealed the firefighters had not used chocks after parking the engine.
“The firefighters assigned to the incident received discipline for their actions. As always, all protocols are expected to be followed to ensure the safety of firefighters and constituents,” LIndsay Lague, a fire department spokesperson said.
The details of the discipline were not released.
