DRAPER, Utah — Some local firefighters had quite the scare Friday when the brakes on their fire truck went out, causing them to crash into a hillside. Fortunately everyone was wearing a seat belt, no one was injured, and only the fire truck sustained damage.
Jeremy Robertson, a captain with the Unified Fire Authority, said they were returning from a call in the SunCrest neighborhood when the incident occurred.
As they made their way down Traverse Mountain Road, they began to have trouble with the air brakes on Engine 114. Though they tried several maneuvers to apply the brakes and emergency systems to stop the truck, nothing worked.
