No serious injuries after what appears to be a late model Dodge Charger slammed into the back of a Houston (TX) fire truck blocking a previous crash scene on Monday afternoon, according to the Houstonian News.

The article reported there was major damage to the front of the car that crashed into the engine near the Gulf Freeway feeder road.

The Houston fire chief told the newspaper that it was the third time in a week a motorist hit a fire apparatus at a scene of a primary crash.

No firefighters were injured during any of the crashes, according to the newspaper.

A 38-year-old man was arrested for damaging the downtown Bakersfield (CA) fire station, according to a report published by KBAK Fox 58.

Police officers were summoned to the station on H Street on a report that someone had kicked in the glass of the front door, according to the report.

The suspect, Raith McClenaghan, received medical care from the firefighters for injuries he sustained when he allegedly broke the glass in the door, according to the report, which added he was arrested and charged with causing about $1,000 in damages.

Traditional weddings are, you know, traditional — and they don't typically include things like setting yourself on fire as you head off into the night. For one Utah couple, however, being sprayed with a fire extinguisher to douse errant flames is commonplace, so doing the same on their wedding day was just par for the course.
