Glenn Warrington was one of the firefighters that responded after the wreck.
"That is just one of the calls we don't like to get -- having to rescue our own," Warrington said. "That was pretty tense for us. We heard the call and had to go and rescue our own guys."
The crash is under investigation. No other vehicles were involved, officials said.
