An alternative vehicle is now being used while the fire engine is being fixed. ‘The fire engine was replaced with a reserve vehicle, with the same capabilities, following the incident,’ a HIWFRS spokesman said.
‘The firefighters were assessed by paramedics and cleared of any injuries at the scene. They have been offered further welfare support should they require it, in line with our procedures.’
The spokesman said the investigation is still ongoing.
