I saw in the comments by a fireman from the area is that there was something on the road that caused them to swerve. We’ll see whether that’s accurate. Where I live there are lots of deer in a rural area and the first thing that you should learn is don’t swerve out of your lane to try to miss the deer at the last second because it’s going to result in a severe accident in most cases. If there’s a video from that truck I want to see it. I’m not accusing any one of anything, I just don’t believe initial reports because the reporting people simply don’t know the facts themselves yet.

In some states it’s actually illegal to brake for animals in the road because it can cause accidents. How do you even stop yourself from trying to avoid something in the road though? Reflexes would kick in.

I heard it was a ladder in the road. 🪜

Subsequent reports indicate that . There is a ladder and apparently it was damaged by being run over by a vehicle but that vehicle didn’t wreck.

I'm on the Airport Fire assignment right now. It was a solo vehicle accident bc of an object on the road. They weren't goofing off or whatever some people are assuming. Pray for these guys.

Seeing this horrible accident is personally upsetting to many of us who live in CA. I live close to the Airport Fire. We are always thankful to have the best firefighters in the world her in our communities. Fact. They also provide paramedic services to our communities so they’re always there when we need help. They’re literally the best of us. Praying for their full recoveries with minimal pain. Very, very best of wishes to them and also to their families.

How did they roll over? Did someone cut off or malfunction with the vehicle???

[@EricUnderwood-v2x]

An object in the road... swerved

[@gianisoma]

Someone said it was a ladder in the road. 🪜
They swerved hard to avoid hitting the ladder. Then they hit the guard rail, causing them to flip over.

Solo? They must have neen goofing around!

[@primordial_platypus]

12 hour shift fighting fires, probably too tired and overreacted to something (maybe was wandering off the road).

[@jake_dr27]

If you read the description, it appears to have been caused by a ladder in the road. These guys are professionals leaving a fire scene at the end of their shift, not some teenagers street racing.

[@mortalclown3812]

Cretinous response.

[@arsenal0095]

​@@jake_dr27 I don't know but it seems an excuse to cover themselves

[@BuckMcAntlerson]

You shouldn't assume. Wrong. Dodging a ladder in the road.
