I don’t know much background about this crash. It was pointed out to me by a former fire department member. The engines were from Engine Co. 10 and Engine Co. 28. The accident happened October 18.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that eight St. Louis firefighters were injured in the collision of two fire engines at Martin Luther King Drive and Taylor Avenue. The two fire engines were headed to a fire about 12:45 p.m. about a block from where the crash happened.

I hope that all recover quickly and that they are able to put this incident behind them quickly. This is certainly one that will rattle their emotions and will have some longevity in their careers.

Godspeed, SLFD brothers and sisters.
