A motorist was critically injured when it struck a Houston (TX) Fire Department engine while it was blocking a previous crash scene on Saturday morning.

According to television station ABC13, the crash happened on MLK Boulevard and the crash blocked the entire eastbound lanes.

In a video recorded of the scene, firefighters could be scene extricating a person from the car that hit the fire engine, the television station reported. The fire crews were already on the scene of a previous crash when the car hit the truck. No firefighters were hurt in the crash, the station reported.

Not a single company bid for a new Lake Wateree fire station, reports The Voice.

Fire officials weren’t sure of the reason but thought it may be due to the design and increased construction material prices.

Given the high price of lumber, it is also unclear if the fire station can be built for the budgeted $375,000, which was approved by town officials.

The fire department has welcomed two pumper fire trucks, reports The Eagle-Tribune.

The purchase had some political turmoil as city councilors rejected the mayor’s budget until he agreed to purchase the new vehicles.

The two trucks were built by Pierce and are fully certified according to National Fire Protection Agency standards.

The new trucks will allow older vehicles to be rotated through the department’s four stations. The department now has eight ladder trucks, two pumper trucks and a rescue truck

The rising cost of building materials will cause a delay of construction of a fire station, reports Albany Democrat-Herald.

The delay will push the completion of the project into mid-2023. A fire official said the department is adjusting its plans to make best possible use of the 26-year, $16 million bond.

In the interim, the fire department has moved its offices to the MBVA Building. The department plans to move two trailers onto the site and place offices in one and sleeping quarters in the other. Most of the fire engines and other vehicles will be housed in the service building on the back of the lot
