An Evergreen firefighter pulled over on
Ponderosa Drive to let another truck go by in the opposite
direction & dropped a tire off of the asphalt. The edge gave way
and the fire truck rolled down the hill & landed on the driveway
on top of a 1969 Firebird and an ATV.
The firefighter was taken to a hospital
with a bruised shoulder.
