    As Kentucky firefighters arrived at a funeral home to bid farewell to a board member Sunday, their engine was swallowed.

    The Summersville engine is now out of service, but no firefighters were injured, the department announced on its Facebook page.

    Little did they know that the empty parking lot they chose had an old garage underneath.
