The truck is sopose to be in servive in no more than 7 weeks.

New Hartford,CT Fire apparatus accident leaves 6 fierfighters injured and 1 in critcal condition, NEW HARTFORD - Volunteers at the New Hartford Volunteer Fire Department are shaken after a near-fatal accident Friday that sent five of six firefighters to area hospitals. "We are in shock," Fire Chief Mark Worsman said. "We still don’t really believe it’s happened." Driver Michael Dziob, 40, 33 Carlson Drive, was travelling south on Bruning Road when the 1991 Boardmen Engine fire truck crashed into a tree at 6:59 p.m. on Friday night, according to police. Firefighters Richard Marcus, 54, 10 Burwell Road, and Kevin M. Kruczek, 18, of Arrowhead Drive, and cadets Christopher C. Seaman, 17, 23 Carlson Drive, Nathan Dziob, 14, 33 Carlson Drive, and Ben D. Marcus, 14, of Burwell Road were sent to area hospitals for injuries, according to police reports. All firefighters were wearing their seat belts, according to police reports. Richard Marcus suffered severe neck and chest injuries and was airlifted from Charlotte Hungerford Hospital in Torrington to Hartford Hospital around 11 p.m. Friday night for intensive care, Worsman said. He was in stable condition at Hartford Hospital as of 9:40 p.m. on Saturday, according to hospital officials. All others were treated and released from area hospitals. Cadets ages 14 through 17 are legally allowed to ride to fire locations but are limited in what they can participate in at the scene of a fire until age 18, Worsman said. Members of the New Hartford and Winsted fire departments met on Saturday for a de-briefing meeting to help each other talk and deal with the stress, Worsman said. "This is the first serious apparatus accident New Hartford (Fire Department) has ever had," Worsman said. "Everyone deals with it differently. I think everyone is holding their own." The firefighters were on their way to a small fire on Route 202 near Nepaug Reservoir, but were informed that the Nepaug Fire Department was taking care of the situation, Worsman said. Michael Dziob was in the process of finding a place to turn around to head back to the station, so there were no sirens or lights flashing, Worsman said. The reason the truck went off the road is still unknown, but Worsman said roads in that area are narrow and it is possible the tires hit the shoulder of the road, causing the truck to be sucked off of the road. The accident is still under investigation, according to police. The truck was totaled and sustained about $375,000 worth of damage, which seems likely to be covered by the department’s VFIS automotive insurance, based in Pennsylvania, Worsman said. The truck was one of only two fire engines belonging to the department, as the department recently sold its third engine to a fire department in Wisconsin. "Now that we’re down one engine, we don’t have a reserve," Worsman said. Any salvageable parts of the destroyed truck will be sold and Worsman said he would be meeting with insurance agents and adjusters during the week.

It's who you know not what you know!!!!

how do they build a house in 7 days, it sounds impossible

ok, thanks, i get it now.

What about in Putnam dont they have 3 seta of numbers too????

Why do all Fire Department vehicals in Putnam County have 2 sets of numbers???? ex:L-65-45, what do these numbers mean????

My sister was comming home today at aprox. 1430 and she had to detour around the Saw Mill Park Way near the Hawthorn exit, she was traveling North bound.

Just a question, Why do all Fire department vehicals have to sets of numbers???? ex: L-62-45, whats with to numbers????????

Very good video!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes there was a red light on the car, i bet the company took his light permit away after that

Amen to that!!!

Hastings L22 (Tiller) (Don't recall) Its a American LaFrance, the company might be looking at specs for a new one cause they are due for a new truck right after E-46(Hann) gets there new truck.

maybe, I'll need to travel a bit down to the old hood of Hastings.

I think thats a very good idea because brush fires can turn on you and you can become stuck in the middel and why take a already exasted team to help them out. I think a FAST team is a excellent idea at brush fires.
