Austin (TX) Fire Apparatus Collides with Car in Del Valle

Austin (TX) Fire Apparatus Collides with Car in Del Valle

An Austin fire truck collided with a four-door sedan in Del Valle Sunday afternoon, said Travis County Fire Rescue. The Austin Fire Department says their fire truck was involved in the crash that happened at about 4:45 p.m. near the intersection of Elroy Road and South SH 130.

A spokesperson for the Travis County Sheriff’s Office says the crash report indicates the fire truck stopped at a stop sign but failed to yield to a car as it went through the intersection. When the two vehicles collided, the fire truck landed on top of the sedan’s hood.

Deputies added that no tickets were issued at the scene. AFD says the truck was not on its way to a call. It was a standby truck that was leaving an assignment at the Circuit of the Americas.

Birmingham (MI) Breaks Ground on 'State-of-the-Art' Fire Station

Birmingham broke ground on a new fire station. "It is exciting to be building another civic structure in the city of Birmingham, Mayor Mark Nickita said at a groundbreaking ceremony Wednesday. "The Chesterfield Fire Station will be a state-of-the-art facility and will be an asset for the city, serving our residents and firefighters for decades to come."

Budgeted at around $3 million, the new station will be an iconic two-story building with red bricks and white accents. It will be larger than the existing station, and it will house two engines, two rescue vehicles, a HazMat truck, a utility truck, one technical response vehicle and living quarters for at least four firefighters.

It replaces a station that has been in operation at the corner of Maple and Chesterfield roads since 1955.
