Two Semmes firefighters suffered minor injuries when their ladder truck crashed on the way to an automatic alarm at a school Wednesday morning.
Chief Kevin Brooks told Fox10: “When they had the accident, they self-extricated themselves out, so they were out there when the first units arrived on scene to help them.”
The two were released after treatment at a hospital.
On the department’s Facebook page, firefighters said the loss of the truck will not hinder service to its residents.
At 10 a.m. Thursday, Semmes firefighters held a ceremony to dedicate a new engine.
