Three Injured After Detroit EMS T-Boned by SUV

Two Detroit EMS workers and another woman were injured after an EMS rig was t-boned by an SUV on Sunday night. According to police, the EMS was responding to a run around 7 p.m. near Tireman and Northfield on the city's west side when a woman speeding in an SUV ran into them.

The EMS workers were treated and released from the hospital, while the woman is still in temporary serious condition at Henry Ford Hospital.

Look at Architecture of Alabama's Historic Fire Stations

In the earliest days of Alabama’s cities and towns, fire protection was of utmost importance. Fires often destroyed large portions of business districts when they quickly spread from wooden building to wooden building.

Coldwater (MI) Moving Ahead on New Fire Apparatus

The Coldwater City Council is scheduled to approve a draft agreement Monday evening to finance the new aerial ladder truck for the fire department. Delivery is scheduled for early August on the $1.2 million truck, which is being purchased from Seagrave Fire Apparatus of Wisconsin.

The agreement calls for the city to make annual payments on the truck for ten years.

City Manager Keith Baker says Southern Michigan Bank and Trust has offered to finance the vehicle at an annual interest rate of 2.37 percent.

1924 Fire Apparatus Returns to McKinney (TX) Fire Department

The McKinney Fire Department (MFD) will welcome home the return of a 1924 American La France Fire Truck, with a ceremonial procession at 9 a.m. July 29. The celebration will welcome and honor the fire truck back to its original home at the Wysong Central Fire Station and will take up permanent residency at the McKinney Fire Museum, 301 N. McDonald St.

The fire truck was purchased by the MFD in 1924 and responded to calls until the late 1960's before being sold to a lumberyard. Jack Moss, the son of Orlia Moss who was the MFD Assistant Fire Chief in the 1920-30's, frequently visited the fire station with his father and had fond memories of the fire truck. Years later, Jack found the truck, purchased it and cared for it through the years. In 2007, the Moss family donated the truck to MFD and the McKinney Economic Development Corporation granted funds for restoration in 2010 and 2013.

"It's important to preserve the legacy and historical significance this fire engine brings back to the city, the fire department and community," said MFD Chief Danny Kistner. "I know Jack and the entire Moss family are excited to see this engine returned home where it belongs."
