Buchanan County (MO) Ambulance Damaged in Accident

A Buchanan County ambulance sustained heavy damage in an accident with a private vehicle Tuesday morning on Frederick Boulevard over the Interstate 29 overpass. No one suffered serious injuries in the accident, which resulted in traffic delays shortly after 6 a.m. until the scene was cleared after 8 a.m.

The ambulance was partially on its side on the pedestrian walkway while the car — a Kia Optima — appeared to sustain significant front-end damage. Both vehicles were partially blocking the eastbound lanes of traffic on Frederick.

Duluth (MN) Shows Off Two New Fire Apparatus

The Duluth Fire Department showed off two new fire engines on Monday -- engines specially designed to meet the needs of firefighters and the unique requirements of Duluth. The engines cost $550,000 apiece and feature upgraded brakes for Duluth's hills.

They also have new built-in storage spaces where firefighters can store their fire-soiled jackets, gloves and other items after finishing fighting a fire. The clothing often contains cancer-causing carcinogens; the space provides a way to sequester the items, so firefighters can minimize their exposure to the chemicals.

Sandy Springs (GA) to Pay $642K for Fire Apparatus, Fire Equipment

The Sandy Springs City Council has authorized the city manager to contract with Pierce Manufacturing Inc. for a new fire engine/pumper. The city will pay $560,620 for the engine, and $82,279 for firefighting gear to equip it, through Ten-8 Fire and Safety Equipment of Georgia, according to a staff report.

The engine will be paid for by impact fees and assigned to Station No. 7, covering the northern “Panhandle” area of town, Fire Chief Keith Sanders said.
