Fire Truck on Ice

What happens when you drive a fire truck on an icy road? You lose control like in this amazing video and get into one scary truck crash.

This video is from a resident in a Missouri neighborhood. Freezing rain caused a light coating of ice on the roads and the fire truck was ill-prepared to handle the conditions.

Incredibly, it looks like nobody was injured in the video and the house and fire truck sustained some damage.

At least that’s better than having your GMC truck spontaneously catching on fire when you are trying to sell it.

    I use to drive those big fire trucks. Even though they have 4-wheel drive once they start going sideways they’re almost impossible to control.
