New Evansville (IL) Fire Apparatus Honors Fallen Firefighter

He dedicated his life to the Evansville Fire Department. And on Tuesday, the department returned the favor. EFD and Mayor Lloyd Winnecke held a special dedication ceremony for the city's newest fire truck. The truck has been named after Clifton Felstead, who served on the fire department for more than three decades.

Felstead passed away in January at the age of 68. His widow, Tami, was in attendance for Tuesday's dedication and often fought back tears.

"It was a very happy moment," said Tami. "It was very happy. I was very proud of him, very proud of him. "

Driver Runs Reds Light in Collision with New Bedford (MA) Fire Apparatus

The driver of a pickup truck was transported to Rhode Island Hospital on Wednesday night after running a red light on Route 18 south of downtown and colliding with the city's Ladder 3 fire engine, police said.

Detective Capt. Steven Vicente, a spokesman for the New Bedford Police Department, said Ladder 3 was traveling west on Potomska Street, crossing Route 18, when it was struck by a Chevrolet C-1500 pickup that ran a red light at Potomska as it was heading south on Route 18 at about 8 p.m. The truck suffered heavy front-end damage and came to rest on the center median of Route 18, knocking down a traffic light pole. Ladder 3 also was damaged in the accident.
