Agencies include Rural Metro Fire Department & EMS, the Knoxville Rescue Squad, Knox County sheriff's Department and University of Tennessee Lifestar aeromedical service. Video was produces by unknown bystander who provided it to responders.
4.55 min. | 4.61 user rating		 7328 of Grants Pass Fire Rescue responds to a car fire on Cloverlawn just inside their district/outside of Rural/Metro's district. The driver was going along when smoke started to pour out of the dash. He had bought the car days earlier. I think the standard response typically calls for one of the new Pierce engines to respond from the Parkway station. There must have been something else going on in their district to have the ladder roll on such a fire. Rural/Metro 7501 was second on scene.
2.45 min. | 5.0 user rating		 Rochester Fire Dept Midi 5 and a Rural Metro Ambulance were struck while on a call. The accident happened on Chili Ave in Rochester NY.

For those viewers who don't know Joe Larkin was an EMT for Rural Metro in Louisville. He died in a car wreck on his way home.

I'm not sure of the condition of the people in the pickup. About 1-2 miles ahead of this accident there was another roll-over at the same time. Engine 1 was underneath the overpass, in the first part of it you can hear them backing up to leave. Overall there was about 9 car accidents today as of now that I heard over the scanner.
