The Anne Arundel County Fire Department said a fire truck responding to a house fire was involved in an accident, reports Patch.com.

The accident sent two of the car’s occupants to the Anne Arundel Medical Center with minor injuries.

At the house fire, eight residents were displaced and a firefighter was injured.

A first-of-its-kind electric fire engine was unveiled in Hicksville, reports ABC 7 News.

The truck can run fully electric for one and a half to two hours. A fire official said the electric truck helps greatly improve communication within the cab and at the scene of a fire.

A civilian vehicle crashed into a Los Angeles County Fire Station, reports KHTS.

The fire station is located in Santa Clarita and there are no reports of injuries.

The cause of the crash is still under investigation, according to officials.

A one-month delay in opening a fire station is due to shortage of building materials and a change in management within construction company, reports The Gazette.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce stated that about 71 percent of contractors reported at least one type of material shortage at the end of 2020.

When the project is completed the fire station will be Marion’s first since 1991, when the city’s population was around half what it is today.

The city still is looking for land for a fourth station, which the City Council approved for $1.1 million. The city budgeted $400,000 for the project while the Marion Firefighters Association would cover the other $695,000, largely through a trust.
