Nazeem Davies, 25, was on his way back to the Vredenburg station from the Winterhoek Mountains when the engine left the road and plunged over a pass, according to The Independent Online.
Another firefighter, Nicklaas Nel, sustained minor injuries.
He was a firefighter with West Coast District where he and his colleagues had helped put out a fire.
The truck hit a large boulder on the way down, which stopped it but crushed and pinned Davies, who had to be extricated.
