Peruvian officials said a fire truck that collided with a LATAM Airlines plane on a runway at Lima’s international airport was taking part in a nearby fire drill and entered the runway without authorization, ABCNews.go.com reported.

Flight LA2213, operated with an Airbus 320neo, was taking off from Lima’s airport for the city of Juliaca in southern Peru on Friday when the truck entered the runway and was hit by a wing of the plane. Part of the plane caught fire, but none of the crew or passengers were injured.

However, two airport firefighters in the truck were killed and a third was injured.

The firefighters were participating in a disaster response exercise, officials said in a news conference Saturday. They said the drill was part of the preparations for a new runway, scheduled to be ready next January, the report said.

The Plainville Fire Department recently received an $8,000 matching grant from the Heartland Community Foundation to buy grain bin entrapment rescue equipment, HaysPost.com reported.

The matching funds from the fire department came from a golf tournament fundraiser in April that raised $7,900, a fire official said, according to the report.

The rescue kits include safety harnesses, ropes, a tripod, a coffer bin and a grain auger, the report said. The equipment is on order. Some of the Plainville firefighters, who are all volunteers, have already received entrapment training. More firefighters will be trained once the equipment arrives, according to the report.
