Two Arkansas firefighters escaped serious injury when their fire truck crashed as they were responding to a call Friday.
They were headed to a fire involving a storage shop and greenhouse, officials from the Bismarck Fire Protection District Association reported on its Facebook page.
"We know accidents happen no matter how careful you are. This is the call we were working when we heard across the radio one of our apparatus’s had struck a tree. We can’t explain the gut wrenching feeling that hits you! Not knowing how bad your fire family could be hurt, but still having a job to do for the people we serve. We are as always so proud of our crew. We were able to divert some units to the wreck, and still able to save this family’s home that was right next to the shop that was on fire. We are truly blessed to have such a amazing crew and special thanks to our neighboring departments who came to assist us," BFPA officials wrote.
