Mecklenburg County NC department hit by car

[vonirkinshtine]

Cooks Community Fire & Rescue. This is the department where I got my start as a firefighter. I served there for nearly 5 years before moving out of the county.

They kept their brush truck in the #1 bay on the A-B corner. I hear it's pretty heavily damaged. Their 1st out engine is in the #2 bay. I hear it had some cosmetic damage, but is still in service. The part of the station that was hit is part of the original structure built in 1950-something (1954?).

*EDIT* Engine 1 is out of service.

The brush truck (a 2008 Ford F350) got pushed into the door of Engine 1 (a 2003 Spartan Gladiator).

They still have Rescue 12: a Ford F450 walk-around; and Tanker 4: a commercial chassis tanker/pumper. So, they'll still have all their bases covered.
