LAFD: Two Firefighters Injured Ambulance vs Garbage Truck

LOS ANGELES — Two firefighters were seriously hurt when their ambulance collided with a garbage truck in Los Angeles Monday.

It was unclear what caused the crash or why the trash truck was in the intersection, Fire Department spokesman Matt Spence told the Los Angeles Times.

The firefighters were hospitalized with serious injuries.

LAPD officials said the ambulance was responding to a Code 3, which is an emergency call requiring a response unit with lights and sirens.

****REMINDER**** Every fire has the ability to be catastrophic. The wildland fire management environment has profoundly changed. Growing numbers of communities, across the nation, are experiencing longer fire seasons; more frequent, bigger, and more severe, fires are a real threat. Be careful with all campfires and equipment.

"I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts, and beer." --Abraham Lincoln
