LIBERTY, Ind. — The Liberty Volunteer Fire Department lost a truck Wednesday while fighting a field fire on Indiana 101 South.
Firefighter Matt Reuss, who was driving the small truck known as the “grass rig,” said firefighters already had applied two tanks of water to the fire and were on their way for a third load when the wind shifted.
“The truck died in the bottom of the field,” Reuss said. “I got it started and was driving uphill when (farmer) Kevin Pinkerton yelled, ‘Your truck is on fire.’” Firefighter Jeff Moles, who was a passenger in the truck, said fire and smoke quickly surrounded the truck.
