WOW, I hope no one is seriously hurt or at least make a speedy recovery. Those fire trucks are built like tanks. Nice catch as always Chaser!

Hard to beleive that they were trapped in that cube van,there is no visible damage to the side that was hit,other than the cargo box along the bottom,but nothing apparent to the cab of the truck.

Backing out,or pulling in,obviously did not respect the flashing warning lights or possibly the siren of the emergency vehicle,either way that would put him at fault.
