Gainesville Fire Department and Hall County Fire Services personnel prepare to extract injured firefighters after the accident at the county’s Allen Creek training center.
Representatives from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration were in Hall County on Thursday to look at the truck that caused severe injuries to three firefighters, according to county officials. The NHTSA asked for privacy in the matter, with two Hall County Sheriff’s Office vehicles blocking the way to the Allen Creek training center. “They asked us for some help blocking off the area while they were examining the truck,” said Hall County public information officer Katie Crumley.
