A new, full-equipped $850,000 rescue-pumper is now in service with Western Carteret (NC) Fire & EMS at the Cedar Point fire station replacing two worn out apparatus, according to a report published by Carteret County News-Times.

According to the report the new apparatus will replace a rescue truck and an engine, both which are more than 20 years old.

The 2022 Spartan Emergency Response rescue-engine will formally be put in service during a ceremony on Aug. 20, according to the report, which added the cost of the apparatus was $768,000 with an additional approximately $80,000 worth of equipment added.

The new apparatus will cover  Bogue, Cedar Point, Cape Carteret and Peletier, as well as unincorporated areas in the county, according to the report.

A Memphis firefighter died in a rollover crash involving a pickup truck and a fire truck Wednesday night in South Memphis.

The crash happened at the intersection of E.H. Crump and Danny Thomas Boulevards at 8:10 8 p.m. when the Memphis ladder truck was responding to a call in the 500 block of Cambridge Avenue.

Four firefighters as well as the driver of the pickup truck were taken to the hospital after the accident, and one firefighter died of his injuries. The conditions of the others injured were reported as critical immediately after the crash.

Early witness reports indicated the pickup truck may have run a red light and the fire truck tried to avoid it but could not, coming to rest on its side.
