A fire, probably electrical in origin, destroyed two fire engines at the Firth Fire Department Monday afternoon.

A firefighter was also blown out of the building when a tank exploded in the fire. He suffered only minor injuries, but was transported to the hospital.

On Sunday morning, the Hinesburg (VT) Fire Department and Richmond Rescue were called to a single-vehicle accident near 8760 Route 116. The response ended with a Hinesburg apparatus in an accident of its own.

Engine 1 responded in icy conditions to the call around 8:50 a.m. with a four-person crew. While passing Place Road W heading north on 116, the apparatus lost steering and braking abilities before crashing into a guardrail.

The engine came to a stop about 500 feet away, and, since all firefighters were wearing their seatbelts, no one was injured. Richmond Rescue was able to handle the call.

Several other minor accidents did follow, but not a single person was transported to the hospital, the department says on Facebook.

The Appomattox (VA) Volunteer Fire Department Saturday dedicated its Engine 1.

The department took delivery of the apparatus on December 3, which sent its predecessor, a 30-year-old engine, to a tornado-ravaged department in TN via donation.

Officials say the apparatus cost $664,855; the town chipped in $240,000 and the county $250,000; fundraisers and donations brought in around $75,000; and the department borrowed the remaining funds.

One person died Saturday night after crashing into a parked fire apparatus in Highland Park (MI), reports clickondetroit.com.

Around 11:15 p.m., a Ford Explorer was traveling west on Davison Freeway when the driver lost control and crashed into the rear of a fire truck parked near Oakland Avenue, the report says. The 57-year-old driver had to be extricated by first responders and was pronounced dead at the scene.
