The Arlington Fire Dept. took damage to several vehicles while responding to an accident on I-40 this morning, but wants to reassure the public no AFD personnel were injured and the AFD is still ready and capable to serve. Fire Chief James Harvill provided the following account of the incident: “This morning, 9-6-24 at approximately 2:30 AM, a semi tractor trailer crashed through an accident scene on westbound I-40 near mile marker 24 in Arlington, TN. The semi-truck struck Arlington Brush Truck 72, pushing it then flipping it onto Arlington Engine 72. The semi then jack knifed and came to rest against Shelby County Fire Ambulance 71." The semi narrowly missed all personnel on the scene, to include TN Highway Patrol and Shelby County Sheriff agency vehicles. No Fire personnel were injured during the accident. The semi driver was extricated by crews on-site and transported to a local hospital. Chief Harvill noted "We are unsure why the semi driver failed to yield to emergency vehicles on the scene but are thankful for no additional injuries. " In response to the damaged vehicles, Chief Harvill says "Arlington will not have Brush Truck response capabilities until the truck is replaced. However, immediately following the accident, Engine 72 crews switched into our Reserve Snorkel and are fully mission capable. Arlington has one remaining reserve apparatus in the fleet.”
