A truck operated by the Town Creek Volunteer Fire Department was burned over and destroyed in Alabama, Thursday, June 16.

Donna F. Campbell wrote about it on the Department’s Facebook page:

We had a wheat field fire today and lost one of our trucks. I was out of the truck when the fire shifted and got back in to try to get the truck moved. The flames were coming up over the front and I jumped out. Another fire fighter was there from another department with me and he tried spraying water on it. This is what our truck 502 looks like now. None of my firefighters or any of the firefighters from the other 2 departments were injured.
