Four firefighters riding in a truck that rolled over Sunday afternoon escape major injury. Our Matt Hunter has more on the impact the accident will have on the department's ability to answer calls while the truck is out of commission.
The department purchased the truck just last August for $700,000; the accident temporarily leaves the department without its primary tool.
"It carries all of our hydraulic rescue equipment for motor vehicle accidents, some of our hazardous materials equipment and all of our structural firefighting equipment," Mellon said.
Until the truck is repaired, the company will answer calls with its two backup engines and rely on assistance from smaller mutual aid companies nearby.
