Miami Fire Rescue Capt. Ignatius Carroll says rescue workers were responding to an emergency when the car turned into their path. The impact of the crash forced both vehicles into the side of a building before they came to rest on the street.

The female driver of the car was taken to the hospital as a precaution. The first responders traveling in the truck were not injured, Miami Fire Rescue said.

Along with fewer mechanical issues, logistics chief Warnock said earlier Thursday that the new trucks will have other features to make their job more efficient.

"Well the one's that are being aged out are 75 foot aerials, these are 105. So, they have a little bit more extension. Some of the houses that are set back in the city we'll be able to reach those a little better," said Warnock.

The new trucks will also have air bags, making it safer for the fire fighters as well.

The new trucks were not in commission today because they still have to be prepped for use. That will include installing radios, and training responders how to use the new equipment.

Families wandered the grounds taking in all the mostly bright red and shiny equipment. Children played under the mist from the giant plume of water being shot out a pumper truck.

Roger Nadeau, an Acushnet resident and retired New Bedford fire chief, showed off Engine 266, a funeral fire truck. Nadeau’s nonprofit organization restored a 1986 piece of fire apparatus in honor of his brother, Fall River District Fire Chief Gerald W. Nadeau, who died in the line of duty in 2002. To date, it has been used as a hearse for the funerals of 18 active and retired firefighters.

“I built this truck in his memory so he’ll never be forgotten,” said Nadeau.

The truck includes several memorials. One that Nadeau was showing to 5-year-old Lily Veracka and 4-year-old Brody Veracka, of Westport, was a memorial to Father Mychal Judge, a chaplain of the New York City Fire Department and one of the victims of 9/11, along with 343 firefighters who died in the attacks.
