Fire Critic An Unadulterated View of the Fire Service
From my sources, four firefighters were injured when their apparatus rolled over in Bedford today. All four were transported to area hospitals by ground or air. Bedford FD Engine 1 is a 2007 Seagrave Marauder II. Being close to the area, we have guys on our department who volunteer in Bedford. Their Chief Creasy is a firefighter in Roanoke City. Two of the firefighters involved (Chauffeur and Officer) are also paid firefighters at the Roanoke Regional Airport. I have been told by sources that none of the firefighters sustained life threatening injuries.
I will update with more information as it is available.
