The Appomattox (VA) Volunteer Fire Department Saturday dedicated its Engine 1.

The department took delivery of the apparatus on December 3, which sent its predecessor, a 30-year-old engine, to a tornado-ravaged department in TN via donation.

One person died Saturday night after crashing into a parked fire apparatus in Highland Park (MI), reports clickondetroit.com.

Around 11:15 p.m., a Ford Explorer was traveling west on Davison Freeway when the driver lost control and crashed into the rear of a fire truck parked near Oakland Avenue, the report says. The 57-year-old driver had to be extricated by first responders and was pronounced dead at the scene.

A passenger in the Explorer was taken to the hospital in serious condition, according to the report.

The City of Madison (WI) Fire Department on Sunday put in service Medic 14, its new ambulance.

The city’s ninth ambulance, Medic 14 is housed at Station 14 on Dairy Drive. Officials say it will increase paramedic-level service to the area, help reduce advanced life support response times, and provide patient transport to a local hospital sooner than before.

A dedication is scheduled for today, Monday, January 10, at 10 a.m. local time; watch the live stream here:
