A Lauderhill (FL) Fire Rescue truck has been left damaged after someone shot at it while crews responded to a call, WSVN.com reported.
A paramedic saw the gunman, and it turned into quite a scare for the first responders, the report said.
On Friday, the crew of Rescue 30 of Lauderhill Fire Rescue’s fire truck was en route to help a person who was suffering chest pains when it was shot multiple times in the area of Northwest 19th Street and 31st Avenue, according to the report.
Three paramedics were said to have been inside the truck at the time of the shooting. The truck had to stop its run and another truck was called, delaying the response time for the person with chest pains.
According to authorities, the damage the truck sustained was to the engine compartment, near the radiator. After the shooting, Rescue 30 went to a fire station and called police. It has since been towed away as evidence, the report said.
