QUEENSBURY, N.Y. — Four firefighters en route to a call were injured after their fire truck overturned Sunday afternoon.

Times Union reported that the Queensbury Volunteer Fire Department truck, which was responding to an EMS call, sunk into the road’s shoulder and rolled down an embankment.

Queensbury Chief Adam Norton said four firefighters were taken to the hospital for minor injuries.

Officials drained the water reserves and used two tow trucks to get the rig back on the road.
