The Forest Volunteer Fire Company #5 in Bedford County, VA had an engine (Pumper 5) overturn on the way to a fire this morning. Six firefighters were on the engine at the time. Three or Four of them were transported for injuries. Two of them remain in the hospital.

For those in the Southwestern, VA region (or beyond) please consider attending this outstanding training opportunity being taught by two of the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department's most seasoned and highly proficient instructors - Captain Dave Barlow and Lt Scott Kraut.

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.
