In the course of trying to reach the fire, a fire truck and the woman's four-door vehicle crashed on West Seven Mile, just east of Evergreen. Firefighters jumped out of the truck and used extrication tools to free her. It took about 10 minutes to pull the woman from her vehicle, Fornell said.

The new truck was constructed by Rosenbauer America in Lyons, and Heiman Fire Inc. will supply the equipment for the engine on Thursday.

Paid for largely through fundraisers, Doering said, the truck will have several community benefits, including decreasing the cost of fire insurance. It will also have traffic control lights and signage to be used when responding to fires on or along roadways, Doering said.

And it will be equipped to handle more than just structure fires, though that will be its first priority.

The engine will be available for use on grass fires, house fires, car fires and more, Doering said, making it more versatile than the department's other fire trucks.

The fire department paid for approximately $100,000 of the truck's cost out-of-pocket and $215,000 through a United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development Grant.

Dispatchers say just after 5:45 pm, a minivan hit the fire engine South 25th and Market Streets. Dispatchers said they did not know the severity of the driver’s injuries.

Harrisburg Fire Chief Brian Enterline said no emergency responders were hurt. Enterline said the engine that was hit was Harrisburg’s brand-new Wagon 4, which runs from Station 2 in Allison Hill.

The engine was towed from the scene.

The antique vehicle went on auction on Saturday, Oct. 21, at VanDerBrink Auctions LLC in Lawton, Okla., as part of the John Lewis Collection. The Jefferson Fire Department was able to secure it with an $8,500 bid courtesy of a loan from the City of Jefferson.

“Since being awarded the truck, Yvette VanDerBrink (owner of VanDerBrink Auctions LLC) has reached out to me twice in two separate emails,” Jefferson Fire Chief Ron Wegner said. “The first one was to tell me, the second one, to me, was kind of to drive the point home: … this is an extremely rare piece and there may not be another one.
