A fire engine donated by the Kent With Ukraine group, founded by Gravesend councillor Jordan Meade, is now in active service in Semenivka, Ukraine, aiding in the country's ongoing conflict recovery efforts.
A fire engine crashed into a Stockton home and two other vehicles, resulting in multiple injuries. The crash occurred at an intersection while the fire engine was responding to a fire call. The drivers of the vehicles involved were hospitalized, with one in critical condition, and four firefighters in the engine were also injured. The homeowner, who was across the street getting coffee at the time, was unharmed. The intersection was closed for several hours for investigation and cleanup.
A West Warwick fire engine crashed through Station 2, but no one was injured. The incident occurred when a door on the side of the truck popped open as it was leaving for a call, causing it to pull on the building. The overhead garage door also came down on the truck, but suffered little damage. The station is one of four in town, and the rescue truck normally housed there has been temporarily moved to another station. Repairs for the building are underway, with no timeline or cost estimate determined yet.
