Six firefighters were treated for non-life-threatening injuries after the fire truck they were riding in crashed in Hubbard Township.

The Warren post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol says the Eagle Joint Fire District firefighters were responding to a call just after 1 a.m. when the truck went off westbound Chestnut Ridge Road just west of Wick Campbell Road, hitting a culvert, ditch, mailbox and a tree. The truck was not running its lights or siren.

The vehicle was being driven by Thomas Gregory, 60, of Hubbard. He was charged with failure to maintain reasonable control.

Life Fleet ambulances and the Brookfield Township Fire Department assisted at the scene. The firefighters were taken to St. Elizabeth Medical Center for treatment.

Ohio State Highway Patrol Lt. Brian Holt said the firefighters were lucky.

The fire truck, however, was not so lucky.

Because of damage to the truck, mutual aid from another fire department responded to the call. Holt said he believes that the truck will be out of service for quite some time.

One of South Whidbey’s greatest and longest serving protectors will hang up his fire hat this month. Paul Busch, a South Whidbey Fire/EMS firefighter for 35 years, is retiring.
