TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — The Tucson Fire Department came to the rescue when a load of haybales broke out in flames while a truck was carrying them.
Firefighters say it happened over the weekend.
Apparently, a commercial truck was carrying the load of haybales. That's when a fire suddenly broke out.
The department says its 'Quint 22' was called in to help put out the flames.
According to the California Fire Prevention Organization, a quint fire truck includes the following:
- Pump
- Fire hose
- Water tank
- Aerial device
- Ground ladders
The non-profit points out quint fire trucks are useful for smaller departments; whereas, "large metro communities typically utilize tiller aerial ladder trucks, as the specific function of truck work is more appropriate in an urban setting."
