However, the same cannot be said for the drivers of both vehicles involved in the crash. Emergency services rushed to the scene to tend to the injured and assess the extent of the damage.
The cause of the initial incident that led to the presence of the fire engine on the highway is still unclear, but the aftermath of the collision serves as a stark reminder of the dangers faced by emergency responders on a daily basis.

That's why we moved from Michigan.😮😅😊In 1960😊
I love winter, the snow, sitting by a fireplace but dealing with the roads is a pain.
Kalamazoo Fire Department should invest into a blocker truck. I remember watching a video about how a blocker truck for the fire department helped save someone
Great! Thank you for your creativity and labor! 💖😘
This is What Happen When you Don't Slow Down When You See Snow. You Never Know When you Encounter. Black Ice on The Roads.
I swear these truck drivers need to drive more safer. That only happens when they drive too fast
THATS KRAZY
Fire truck is still undefeated.
Jacknifed? It's a box truck!
Sue the state for salt on the raods
That fire truck was unfazed.
Damn i hope everyone is fine.
The truck is damaged before it hits Firetruck ?////
Aw man on the good guys seriously?
The salt attaches to the rubber. You have no traction. Its like having plastic tires on ice. You have to send all your bills to the state and local government.
Oh man – I hope everyone is Ok – Some guardian angels were looking out for those firefighters!
That a box truck
Box truck* not semi
Someone should explain to her that not every truck on the road is a semi truck
It seems like that bit of road is particularly slippery and that is why I think there was a rollover car being attended to. Now there's a truck. Just a speculation.
Nothing like seeing idiots in trucks and 4wd’s, when it snows, going 80 mph.
Where snowplow
Wow
Not sure how you jackknife a box truck.
Fire truck, MORE LIKE CRASH TRUCK
That trucker better have a good insurance 🙏🏾🤑🙏🏾
