Both members involved in the incident have reportedly been reassigned to non-emergency duties pending the outcome of the investigation.
Here is more: FLORIDA FIRE APPARATUS STRUCK ON I-95 A Boca Raton Fire Rescue apparatus was seriously damaged Wednesday morning after being struck by a vehicle while crews were getting ready to return from a previous crash on I-95. Two units were dispatched around 0603 hours to that first crash in the southbound express lanes of I-95. One of the fire apparatus was preparing to clear the scene -about 12 to 15 minutes later – when it was violently struck from behind by a civilian vehicle. (See photo) Thankfully, 3 Firefighters were inside the apparatus at the time of the crash. One Firefighter was taken to a hospital with minor injuries, while the other two were transported for evaluation as a precaution. The driver of the vehicle that struck the fire apparatus was taken to Delray Medical Center as a trauma alert. One report is that the civilian may have actually “driven around” traffic safety and blocking units, and slammed into the rig. Take care. Be careful. Pass it On. BillyG |
