A Volunteer Firefighter was treated and released from a local hospital after he lost control of the fire truck he was driving. Investigators with the Mclewis Volunteer Fire Department said firefighters were on their way to a grass fire around 4:30 Saturday afternoon when he took the 1442 u-turn under Interstate 10 and lost control. The fire truck rolled and hit the brick columns. The fire truck mainly carries water to the pumper trucks. The fireman was transported to Christus Hospital Saint Elizabeth for precautionary reasons. He is okay, but the fire truck is totaled. Luckily, firefighters did put out the grass fire.
