The Fairplay Grant Fire Territory Chief Bryan Woodall wrecked the department’s newest fire apparatus Saturday, March 29, he said in a Facebook post.
Here’s the post:
“Yesterday afternoon I was involved in a wreck in one of our fire trucks,” Woodall said in the post. “Yes, it was our newest truck. Only being in service for two months yesterday. I moved over too far on the edge of the county road and the truck went down into the ditch. I thought I could ride it out, but when the truck came to the end of the ditch the culvert caused the truck to bounce and skid sideways. The truck went off the other side of the road skidding sideways in the road. The truck rolled over one time and came to rest on the passenger side.”
“It just reminds you of the dangers of big trucks on the county roads,” the chief said. “Remember that most county roads do not have shoulders and if they are blacktopped, there is a definite drop off.”
