Hey,

A *North Carolina Firefighter* suffered serious injuries yesterday when 
he was struck by a vehicle while helping victims of a tractor-trailer 
crash on I-40. As of late last evening, we were advised that *Crooked 
Creek FF Kirk Lunsford* had been in surgery for several hours. Both of 
his legs were crushed and he sustained head injuries when the car spun 
out and hit him.


A tractor-trailer was speeding down eastbound Interstate 40 about 2.5 
miles west of Old Fort when he lost control and struck the concrete 
median barrier. The tractor-trailer rode the barrier for about 800 feet 
before it overturned, spilling some of its produce load. The speed was 
65 mph but speed limit for tractor-trailers there is 35 mph. FF Lunsford 
was driving west on I-40 and saw the crash. After Lunsford exited his 
vehicle, a westbound vehicle slammed on his brakes and swerved to avoid 
a slow-moving vehicle in front of him-the driver lost control and struck 
FF Lunsford, pinning him against the median.
The civilian in the car as well as the one driving the tractor trailer 
were cited.

We wish FF Lunsford a rapid recovery.

*GROUND LADDER CLOSE CALL & PHOTOS:**
*Check out the pictures related to a ground ladder CLOSE CALL in PA last 
week. They show a 24' ladder at a working fire in Lock Haven. While 
members were operating, gun powder went off on side B inside on the 
first floor and heavy fire blew out the window, hitting the ladder. 
Fortunately, no members were on the ladder at the time. The pictures 
were submitted by a Veteran FF who wanted to pass it on as he had never 
seen that happen. Neither have we.
