A Quinlan (TX) Volunteer Fire Department engine rolled over Tuesday en route to a call, injuring two firefighters, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety, nbcdfw.com reported.

Officials said the driver of Engine 62 lost control on a curve, then rolled the unit over several times, the report said. The rig came to a stop when it struck a tree in a front yard.

A fire official said the two in the vehicle were husband and wife.

“The driver was transported via AirEvac and the passenger was transported by ground ambulance,” the Quinlan Volunteer Fire Department said in a Facebook post. “Both are in stable condition.”

The Texas DPS is investigating the crash.

The Englewood Area (FL) Fire Control District announced recently that Tower 75 is now officially operating as an Advanced Life Support (ALS) truck, the department said in a Facebook post.

That means the firefighters/paramedics on Tower 75 are equipped with the tools, medications, and training to provide high-level lifesaving medical care right on the scene, before patients even reach the hospital, the post said.
