3 Houston Firefighters were taken to the hospital with minor injuries this morning after an aerial ladder touched a power line, causing the apparatus to become electrified and a tire to explode. The Firefighters were testing equipment at Station 51 in southwest Houston around 1030 hours.
When the ladder touched the power line, sparks flew up and other Firefighters came over to see what was going on-that's when the tire exploded, causing the Firefighters to suffer ringing ears and headaches.
