DANIA BEACH, Fla. — The Dania Beach Fire-Rescue Department on Monday said it will investigate why a wheel from a rescue truck came loose, struck the exterior of a nearby business and prompted one person to be taken to a hospital.
Responding to an emergency, the truck was eastbound in the 2300 block of Griffin Road with its lights and sirens on when a front tire accidentally detached just before 10 a.m., said Fire Division Chief Ben Rudbeck.
The tire struck a business building and scattered debris, leaving a man at the business “shaken up,” Rudbeck said. He was taken to an area hospital to be evaluated but the tire “didn’t hit anybody,” Rudbeck said.
The truck’s front end also sustained some damage.
