Two firefighters with Summit Fire and Rescue in Blountsville, Alabama were injured in an apparatus crash Tuesday, Oct. 15, the fire department said in a Facebook post.

“We got a call this evening that no one in the fire service ever wants to hear,” the department said in the Facebook post. “Two of our guys, our family at Station 60 were involved in an apparatus wreck! One of them has pretty bad injuries and will take some time to heal and the other one is pretty beat up! We are so thankful they will be okay! Please keep them in prayer! This could’ve turned out a lot worse.

“We would like to say a special thank you to Blountsville Fire & Rescue Department and Brooksville Fire & Rescue for showing up and helping us out in our time of need! You guys are absolutely the best!”
