BAD WRECK INVOLVING A FIRE TRUCK IN GRIFFIN

Spalding County Fire Department's Engine four was dispatched to a call regarding a motor vehicle collision on Hwy 19/41 South Bound, just North of Birdie Rd. While firefighters were assisting WellStar EMS at the scene, a commercial bucket truck collided with the rear of Engine 4, causing significant damage to the back of the vehicle.

 

During the incident, none of the Spalding County Fire Department members were inside the truck, and none of the responding firefighters sustained injuries.
