BDVFD E-32 in Accident

[CobbWeb]

E-32 involved in MVA reporting no injuries near gate 1. They were responding to house fire. House assignment placed in service.

Now 1 subject with back pain. Not sure if fireman. Scanner very busy now hard to keep track of which call is which.

1 pri 3 transport and 4 refusals, E-32 out of service.

I'm always amazed that people can be so involved in activites other than controlling the multi-ton block of metal they're driving that they don't see a huge fire truck with lights flashing

Why don't we wait and see what happened before we pass judgement.

What's the fun in that?

Why?
I doubt if the fre truck was responding to a call without lights and siren

Bay District has been known to wreck their apparatus, so don't blame a citizen when it could have just as easily been the fault of someone from BDVFD

 

[royhobie]

SB624 is correct. Remember the recent accident at Rt. 246 and Rt. 5 in front of Sheetz where they claim the apparatus slid on ice? In the process they somehow took out the traffic light pole which had to be replaced. I wonder how much that cost us? We must remember that these folks respond to a lot of calls and do a great job. However, just like police officers, they can not be reckless responding to calls.

Oops, they did it again.

 

[CobbWeb]

Yep

Oops, they did it again.

This time at Shangri La Dr., sounds like they need to review some EVOC and defensive driver training.

 

[glhs837]

Unless you have info we dont, I wouldnt judge too fast. Which end of Shangri-La? If its the southern end, folks screw that up all the time.

 

[Tech]

235 end, debris on highway indicates it was a southbound vehicle.

Not judging anything, when your department is involved in 2 crashes in 2 weeks its time to review and refresh whether you are at fault or not. By the way I clearly heard the investigating officer advise that the fire truck was vehicle 1 and I know what that means whether anyone will own up to it or not.

She flip flopped 3 or 4 times. At the end, 32 was vehicle #2

E-92 involved in hit and run today. They need to turn the magnets off!!

 

[jp2854]

what the driver of e-92 said was there wasn't much damage but the person that did it didn't stop they took off. I don't know if they got a description of the car or not since it happened as they were turning the corner to go to an accident scene when it happened.
