“Around midnight, our department was responding to a major vehicle accident when our engine got into an accident itself,” the fire department chief wrote. “The engine rolled and trapped one of our firefighters under it. The firefighter was life-flighted to a hospital but, by the grace of God, is expected to make a full recovery.”
