South Carolina Fire Apparatus Burns

A volunteer fire department in South Carolina reported that one of its fire trucks caught fire recently, and posted pictures of the burning apparatus on its Facebook page.

The C&B Volunteer Fire Department in Ladson said that crews had put up Christmas lights outside the station and were driving Tower 401 around the block to place it back into the station when the fire occurred. A user on the post indicated that no one was injured in the event.

Well today is a sad day for C&B after we finished putting up Christmas lights at the station we drove Tower 401 around the block to place it back in the station and the Tower never made it back to the station.
