The following is from a report ccovering an apparatus rollover involving an wildland fire apparatus:

On 27 August 2017, a Type 6 contract engine was conducting structure triage assessments while assigned to the Miller Complex in southwestern Oregon, managed by a Type 1 Incident Management Team (IMT). The crew had just resumed their trip after a short break when the driver came too close to the edge of the roadway and rolled down a steep embankment into a shallow creek.

The engine driver was not wearing his seatbelt and was seriously injured. Although not ejected, the driver was partially pinned underneath the engine, and partially submersed in the creek. The other two engine crewmembers were seat-belted, received minor injuries, and tried to radio for help.

White crashed into a fire engine on Wednesday at W. 43rd Street and N. Capitol Avenue.

When questioned by police, White said he did not have a license.

White was also wanted for driving while suspended with priors, records show.

 It will provide new energy-efficient light tubes, overhead doors, swamp coolers, technology upgrades, an American with Disabilities Act-compliant entrance and breezeway and an Environmental Protection Agency-required oil separator.

“Although many of the renovations are designed to improve the energy efficiency and ever-increasing maintenance costs of the aging facility, there are other improvements that will address facility access and safety issues,” Nicholson said.

The city has allocated $565,000 for the improvements in this fiscal year’s budget.

The 12,000-square-foot fire station has four garages for trucks and ambulances, along with living quarters for staff who work multiple day shifts.

Aldermen included the $425,000 expenditure in the 2018 fiscal year budget, but the truck will come at no cost to taxpayers. Instead, the City will follow the same blueprint as seven years ago -- the last time the fire department obtained a new truck -- and borrow the money from the bank on a 10-year note and pay the annual debt service with funds received from a yearly insurance rebate received from the state, according to City Clerk Shelly Ferguson.

The new truck will be a pumper -- or "engine" -- said assistant chief David Wicker, replacing a 21-year-old truck. The last time the OSFD purchased a new truck was in 2010 -- also a pumper, meaning the department will have two pumper trucks less than 10 year old.

Assistant Chief Ruy Lozano emailed the Houston Fire Department’s response to the situation:

"HFD Ladder 7 went into the shop at 8 a.m. this morning for what was believed to be a minor problem with a quick repair time and a manpower unit was put in its place. In this case, the small repair resulted in the discovery for the need of additional maintenance. Fortunately, there are several nearby stations equipped with ladder trucks and towers to service the impacted area. We appreciate FMD mechanics for their due diligence in assuring apparatuses are serviced thoroughly, ensuring the safety of our members."
