Two Fire Trucks Lost in Connecticut Crash Saved Lives

Connecticut Fire

The Stratford Fire Department is reeling after the sudden loss of two of its fire engines in a crash on Interstate 95 in which one tractor-trailer slammed into Engine 1, and another into Engine 5.  The two engines, each with a replacement value at about $420,000, were parked in a "staggered" configuration on the highway, in order to protect the lives of the firefighters, police officers, EMTs and other first responders to the original car crash.
