Subject: Fatal Crash Involving Fire Engine in Tennessee

Paulette,TN: An Anderson County man was killed Saturday when he veered into the path of an oncoming fire engine that was responding emergency traffic to
a chimney fire.

First Responders and an Emergency Medical Technician onboard the engine immediately began care on the 35 year old man, but he was killed on impact when he struck the 1986 Mack pumper head-on.

Ironically, the engine involved in the accident was the truck that replaced another truck that rolled over in June 2002 while responding to a brush fire. In that accident, the driver of the tanker/pumper was airlifted the University of Tennessee Medical Center for severe neck and back injuries. He made a full recovery. Photos of that accident can be seen at http://www.paulettevfd.com/apparatuswreck.asp

What a bad first day driving.  Medic 7 was almost totaled when hit by a drunk driver, while transporting a priority 1 patient to the hospital.  The driver of Medic 7 was fresh out of the Academy, his first night driving.  Luckily no one was seriously injured.

A Calaveras County fire truck that was temporarily stationed in Lucerne Valley responded to a fire in Lytle Creek on 8-11-02. The truck was traveling south in I-15 when a few hundred feet past the Hwy-138 overpass when the driver suddenly lost control. The truck was loaded with 500 gallons of water and 3 crew when it went suddenly from the #4 lane over the 30-foot embankment. The CDF has grounded thier fleet of trucks as the crashed truck only had 3600 miles on it. On 8-13-02 the pieces were loaded on a truck and hauled to a secure CHP site for further investigation. The crew was said to be recovering from the high speed crash.
