 <![CDATA[An SUV driven by a volunteer firefighter 
flipped over while he was on his way to an emergency call around 9 a.m. 
Thursday, police said.
		 
				Edward J. Collar IV, 19, was driving south on Farmington Avenue near
 Diamond Avenue, with the blue lights on top of his car illuminated, 
when another car pulled out in front of him, police said.
			
					But a witness to the accident said that Collar had to stop quickly 
because a school bus was turning left onto Diamond Avenue.
				
				
					âHe flipped over less than 25 yards in front of me,â the witness told The Mercury.
				
				
				
				
				
				
					
		
			The damp roadway conditions made breaking difficult and the SUV rolled over onto its top.
		
					Upper Pottsgrove Police said he was not ejected from the car and he was able to climb out.
				
				
				
				
				 
			Farmington Avenue was closed for 45 minutes while police investigated the crash.

 <![CDATA[
  A South Wales Fire and Rescue Service spokesman confirmed the 
firefighters were injured while en-route to another incindent in the 
Torfaen area and that one firefighter remains in hospital.


  He said that colleagues from the South Wales Fire and Rescue Service 
worked with colleagues from the Welsh Ambulance Service and Gwent Police
 to release two other firefighters from the vehicle.


  He added: "as is standard practice Gwent Police is now investigating 
the circumstances of the collision and the service is co-operating fully
 with the investigation.

            
        

  "No other details on cause of collision are available at this time and
 the thoughts of the South Wales Fire and Rescue Service are with the 
firefighters involved and families."


  The firefighters involved are retained, part-time crew.


  UPDATE: 3.14pm


  Sandra Rumble, who was visiting her daughter-in-law in Blaenavon, said
 she was driving near the scene at about 11.30 and heard the sirens and 
saw the air ambulance helicopter flying over.


  She added: "I saw the rapid response vehicles gathering on the road 
but I couldn't see a fire engine, which worried me as I think it must 
have gone over the mountain near the Cordell Pub.

            
        

  "The air ambulance left about 12.35pm towards Cardiff.


  "I believe that another person was taken to Nevill Hall and at that time another was still trapped.


  "There has been constant rescue vehicles passing and the mountain 
rescue helicopter. "We are just waiting for news as we know two people 
who are Blaenavon fire fighters and we just hope they're not involved."


  UPDATE: 2.35pm


  The firefighter taken by air ambulance to the University Hospital of 
Wales was complaining of neck pain and had a possible broken leg, a 
spokesman for the Welsh Ambulance Service NHS Trust confirmed.


  Three firefighters were taken to Nevill Hall hospital with back injuries and a fifth firefighter was treated at the scene.


  UPDATE: 2.00pm


  A resident whose house is in the cordon told us: "It all kicked off 
about midday when I heard lots of sirens. I tried taking my dog for a 
walk but found the road closed.


  "I spoke to people who said it was a serious accident involving an overturned fire engine.


  "Since then there has been air ambulance, fire engines and police constantly coming and going."


  UPDATE: 1.31pm


  The fire service said the crew from Blaenavon were responding to an accident when the crash happened.


  The injured firefighters have been taken to the University Hospital of
 Wales in Cardiff and Nevill Hall Hospital in Abergavenny.


  Diversions will be in place for 'several hours' while police carry out enquiries.


  UPDATE: 1.03pm


  Police are diverting traffic after the fire engine crash earlier today on the Blaenavon to Govilon Road (Keepers Road).


  UPDATE: 1.00pm


  One firefighter is seriously injured and has been taken by air ambulance to hospital.


  Four other crew had minor injuries.


  UPDATE: 12.45pm


  AN air ambulance has been scrambled to take casualties from the scene of the fire engine crash.


  An eyewitness said the Wales Air Ambulance landed and took off and 
that an RAF search and rescue helicopter is also hovering at the scene.


  The crash happened around an hour and a half ago.


  UPDATE: 11.30pm


  AN OVERTURNED fire engine has closed the Abergavenny Road (B4246) in 
both directions between Blaenavon and the Govilon junction.


  Heavy lifting equipment is en-route to the scene.

 <![CDATA[A former Bainbridge resident identified as having allegedly stolen and then crashed a fire truck Friday has died.Monday
 morning, the Ross County Sheriffâs Office identified Brentley S. 
Montgomery, 19, as the suspect in the incident involving the Harrison 
Township fire truck. By Monday evening, the Ohio Highway Patrol 
confirmed that Montgomery had died.Montgomery had been at the 
Wexner Medical Center at Ohio State University, where hospital officials
 had said he was in surgery Monday morning.Patty Dennewitz, of 
Bainbridge, said she has known Montgomery since he was in third grade at
 Paint Valley. She was at Wexner during the weekend with her husband 
praying for Montgomery and had been told he was brain dead by Sunday 
evening and that there were plans to donate his organs. That organ 
donation plan could help explain the discrepancy between the fact that 
his obituary indicates he died at the hospital Saturday and that he was 
involved in surgery Monday morning.Montgomery was flown by 
emergency medical helicopter to Wexner after being ejected when the fire
 truck he is thought to have been driving went off Charleston Pike and 
overturned near the firehouse just after midnight Friday.The 
sheriffâs office reported surveillance video shows a man, allegedly 
Montgomery, breaking into the firehouse through a window and then 
leaving in the fire truck. Before the truck was driven out of the 
firehouse, it struck the wall to the firehouse kitchen.Dennewitzâ son, Cole, and her nephew, Jacob Neff, had been childhood friends with Montgomery.She
 recalled how Montgomery and Neff became friends over an eraser Neff 
thought Montgomery had stolen when they were in fourth grade. Neff later
 found the eraser in his own bookbag and apologized.âHe was a 
very hard worker. He always kept a job somewhere. ... Other than playing
 practical jokes, this was not in his character,â she said.After 
graduating from Paint Valley in 2012, Dennewitz said Montgomery moved to
 the Wellston area, where his dad lives. The Ross County Sheriffâs 
Office reported his last known address was in Lawrence County, while his
 obituary lists him as being from Hillsboro.This past summer, 
Dennewitz recalled Montgomery had some struggles but that he began 
attending church and seemed to be doing better. However, during the past
 week, she said that he had quit his job and began talking about wanting
 to move to Florida.On May 5, he posted on his Facebook page that he was looking for a car to get to Florida.The
 sheriffâs office and the Ohio Highway Patrol, which handled the crash 
investigation, did not immediately know the identity of the suspect 
because he did not have any identification on him at the time of the 
crash. The sheriffâs office reported Monday they had an idea of who it 
was and was able to confirm it with family.http://www.chillicothegazette.com/article/20130513/NEWS01/305130001/Fire-truck-crash-suspect-dies-from-injuries?gcheck=1...]]>

 	<title>THIEF CRASHES STOLEN FD TANKER IN OH</title>

 <![CDATA[A volunteer fire department in rural Ross County is minus a fire truck after an early-morning
joy ride ended in a crash that destroyed the tanker truck and critically injured the suspected
thief.

A man broke into the Harrison Township fire station, jumped aboard a 2003 Kenworth tanker
truck and took off down Charleston Pike east of Chillicothe with the lights flashing and the siren
wailing, authorities said.

The thief didnât get far. The westbound fire truck ran off the road about 12:08 a.m., hit a
guardrail and overturned, throwing the man from the vehicle, according to the Chillicothe post of
the State Highway Patrol.

The man did not have any identification in his possession and has not yet been identified,
said Lt. J.M. Moore, commander of the Chillicothe post.

The man was flown to Wexner Medical Center at Ohio State University in Columbus, where he
remained unconscious and in critical condition this morning, Moore said.

The Ross County sheriffâs office reported that a surveillance video showed a man breaking a
window to enter the fire station and then raising an overhead door and driving away in the fire
truck.
Charges will be filed once the man is identified, deputies said. The man seen on the video
matches the description of the man in the hospital, they said.
Harrison Township Fire Chief Bryon Thornton said the truck is a total loss. "It's in pieces.
What used to be a 10-foot-tall truck is four-feet." The 2,200-gallon tanker truck, which is
insured, will cost $190,000 to $250,000 to replace, he said.
The thief unsuccessfully tried at first to steal the department's pumper truck, the chief said.
The thief also backed the tanker through the kitchen wall before departing the fire station "with
it all lit up," Thornton said.
The department's volunteer emergency-medical technicians worked to treat and stabilize the
injured theft suspect before anyone even worried about the crushed tanker laying nearby, Thornton
said.
âIt's kind of ironic. Someone comes into your house, steals your stuff, destroys your truck and
we saved his life. You have to take care of him first," the chief said.http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2013/05/10/Fire-truck-stolen.html...]]>
