HORRY COUNTY, SC (WMBF) – One person was transported from the scene after a car rammed into a fire truck near the Coastal Carolina University campus multiple times Tuesday afternoon, according to officials and witnesses at the scene.

Lt. Brian VanAernem with Horry County Fire Rescue said no firefighters were injured in the crash, which happened on Highway 544 and Founders Drive, just outside the university campus.

A witness to the crash said on Twitter that he saw a woman crash into the fire truck in her car, then back up, say she was tired of being harassed by the police, then ram into into the truck again. 

In all, members of 14 area fire departments will make up the new Heights-Hillcrest Technical Rescue Team that will provide special rescue services.

"This all fits in with the spirit of regionalism," Mayor Georgine Welo said of the departments joining together. Welo pointed out that this action comes after South Euclid elected to form a police and fire dispatch group with Shaker Heights, Cleveland Heights and University Heights.

"By joining together, we're looking for a reduction of equipment and operating costs, and it's an opportunity to reduce our overall costs," said South Euclid Fire Department Assistant Chief Dave Csire. "And, maybe most importantly, it gives us a greater opportunity for us to seek outside grants because there will be more of us applying.

"It also allows for an even distribution of our resources."

Councils from each member community must pass a resolution to bring the two teams together. South Euclid has been part of, since its formation in 1995, the Heights Area Special Rescue Team, or HASRT.

Other member departments included those from Cleveland Heights, University Heights, Beachwood, Shaker Heights and Euclid.

HASRT will join forces with the Hillcrest Technical Rescue Team (HILLTECH), which consists of Lyndhurst, Beachwood (Beachwood pays dues that make it a member of both teams), Gates Mills, Highland Heights, Mayfield Village, Mayfield Heights, Pepper Pike, Richmond Heights and the lone Lake County community, Willoughby Hills.

On Monday, the Missouri Opioid-Heroin Overdose Prevention and Education or MO-HOPE Project, a partnership between the Missouri Department of Mental Health, Missouri Institute for Mental Health, University of Missouri-St. Louis, and the National Council on Drug and Alcohol Abuse launched an overdose education and naloxone training and distribution program for first responders.

The Eureka Police Department, St. Charles City Police Department, Warrenton Fire Department, Wright City Fire Department, Marthasville Police Department and the Columbia Police Department participated, according to a press release.

"The potency of heroin and the circulation of strong prescription painkillers have been increasing," wrote Rachel Winograd, MO-HOPE lead investigator at MIMH. “Among other things, this grant will improve access to naloxone for emergency responders and community members to most effectively intervene when the worst happens.”

St. Charles County was the first police agency to start using the antidote in the area in November 2015. St. Louis County, Wentzville, Clayton and others have since followed suit.
