Episode Details

A Spokane County fire engine—crucial for hauling 2,000 gallons of water during the Old Trails Fire—was completely destroyed when it got stuck in a ditch and was engulfed by flames. The operator escaped unharmed but was checked by medics; the department withheld the news for a week to avoid adding to community stress, focusing instead on his well-being and ongoing firefighting efforts. This tragic loss underscores the extreme risks firefighters face—and how vital it is that people come first, even amid disaster.
