    A Fresno County Fire engine was involved in a crash with a Ford Bronco on Thursday.

    The crash happened just before noon at American and Maple avenues.

    The fire truck was responding to a grass fire near the area and had its emergency lights on. The Ford entered the intersection just as the fire engine crossed its path. The front of the Bronco collided with the left side of the fire engine.

    The collision caused the fire truck to roll over.

    The driver of the Ford Bronco sustained a complaint of pain injuries. Both the fire engine driver and passenger also reported pain-related injuries. All were taken to a local hospital.

    “We’re incredibly grateful that no serious injuries occurred in ,” CHP spokesperson Mike Salas said. “Incidents like this are an important reminder of how crucial awareness is especially at intersections.”
