Pro Snowboarder Turned 1953 Fire Apparatus Into an Adventuremobile

Pro Snowboarder Turned 1953 Fire Apparatus Into an Adventuremobile

As you might have noticed, #vanlife has become a full-blown social phenomenon, with many people turning vans and buses into mobile homes to set out for life on the road.

And while everyone has their own unique take on vanlife (this guy turned an ambulance into an adventuremobile), pro snowboarder Austin Smith has one of the more original approaches we’ve seen: He turned a 1953 GMC fire truck into his house on wheels.

"This is my fire truck, or 'micro dojo,'" Smith says in the video while describing his recent switch to living in the fire truck. "I've never lived in a vehicle before, I've never lived in a parking lot before, I wasn't sure if I would like it."

Wayne Township (IN) Fire Apparatus Involved in Hit-and-Run Accident

While responding to a fire call, a Wayne Township fire truck was involved in a hit-and-run accident. The fire truck was struck by a dark blue Dodge Durango while driving southbound on High School Road near 21st Street.

Capt. Michael Pruitt said the Durango lost control as it came out of a curve and struck the front left of the fire engine. The vehicle proceeded to strike a second northbound vehicle that had come to a stop for the fire engine.

Pruitt said the driver of the Durango did not stop and continued to 21st Street.

Fire Causes Major Damage to East Norriton (PA) Ambulance

An ambulance somehow caught fire and now it's out, but it'll also be out of commission -- if it could ever be used again. There is major damage. SKYFOX was live over Einstein Medical Center in East Norriton, a short time ago. You can see the burns on the ambulance and even holes all over the life-saving vehicle.
