A Dallas Fire Rescue engine rolled into a ditch Friday morning responding to a commercial fire north of downtown.
Firefighters were called to the 11000 block of Harry Hines Boulevard around 7 a.m. and were unable to get into the building because of a large shipment that was received Thursday.
Firefighters moved to a defensive attack at Army Navy Plus store due to limited access and requested a second alarm to bring additional resources, DFR officials told WFAA.com.
The fire reached four alarms, bring over 100 firefighters to the scene. Crews used aerial ladders and hoseline to bring the fire under control.
Some of the firefighters did not reach the scene after an accident while responding.
An engine company that was responding used the shoulder to pass traffic and ended up rolling into a ditch.
Fire officials said the firefighters were not injured.
“We’re in shock right now,” owner Joan Walker said told the television station. “We don’t know what to think. We don’t know what’s going to happen. It’s part of the family.”
