Six first responders were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after an ambulance and a fire truck collided Thursday morning in Hartford (CT), reports wfsb.com.

Both apparatus were responding to calls at the time, the report says. Two victims were in the ambulance and four were in the fire truck.

The crash remains under investigation.

The Millville (NJ) Fire Department is buying a $1.47 million Pierce ladder truck, reports Yahoo.

The apparatus, with a 100-foot reach, will be put into service at some point in 2023, officials say. It will replace a 1997 ladder truck.

The department—which currently has 17 full-time members and 14 active volunteers—replaced an engine two years ago and in the last four years has swapped out three support vehicles, the report says.

“The District reserves the right to reject any and all bids,” a Facebook post says. “The successful bidder shall pay by certified check or money order.”
