Chenoa Fire Protection District, Illinois
Firefighter Don Nagel was injured on the way to a fire caused by a natural gas line break.
…Chenoa firefighter Don Nagel, 47, was taken to OSF Saint James Hospital in Pontiac, after a Chenoa fire engine crashed on the way to the scene around 4:55 a.m., Illinois State Police said.
The engine was negotiating a “left sharp curve in a wet two-laned roadway” when its 1,000 gallons of water shifted abruptly, police said in a statement. The engine overturned on its left side and ended up in a ditch.
Nagel was treated and released, the hospital said later Monday.
