"Everyone in the engine was ok. No injuries to any of the four crew person. Unfortunatly the engine did not fair well with alot of damage. Small roads, big ditches and soft ground make for a bad combo."
Someone added, "Don't forget speeding" as a comment.
My question is, WHY? WTF guys? Where were you headed that you were going so fast you lost control of this HUGE vehicle and wrecked? What was the emergency? I'm told it was an overturned truck?
You did NOT read about it in The Daily Times this morning. However, does that surprise anyone here? Accountability! Ladies & Gentlemen, the problem with the Fire Fighters is, everything was covered up in the past and now it's not. So is Albero a bad guy because my Blog exposes these things? Or am I simply doing what The Daily Times has CONVENIENTLY covered up for many years?
You'll read about it tomorrow buried deep into the paper because their tails are between their legs after reading this. Nevertheless, I want to know why the truck wrecked and wouldn't it be nice to hear a straight up answer like, we were going to fast and couldn't negotiate the turn properly. Let's see what comes of this?

ReplyDeleteWest Side
ReplyDeleteHow fast were they going?
ReplyDeleteFast enough to lose control and wreck.
ReplyDeleteJoe it was a narrow road. The engine got off the edge and onto a soft shoulder which collapsed and the engine went into the ditch. No question it was operator error

ReplyDeletewhat other westside vehichle was totaled
ReplyDeleteI HEARD A WESTSIDE FF PERSONAL TRUCK COUPLE WEEKS AGO GOT TOTALED ALSO HAPPENS TO BE PAID SFF
ReplyDeletewell we all know you can't believe everything you hear.
ReplyDeleteHAAA!!! I went down that road the next day and found the scene of crash. No signs of pavement giving way! I have also been told by one of the crew driver attempted to make the turn at 50mph. that turn was near the very end of the road. doing the posted speedlimit of 40 around the corner surely would have kept rescue engine 12 in service. I also heard the driver has never really been very good at driving these big trucks. the only thing he needs to be driving is the stretcher on the ambulance.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the estimated cost for repairs, who pays the deductable, and when will rescue engine 12 be running to service?
