Eight Southern California firefighters were injured in a severe highway crash involving a fire truck on Thursday. The fire truck was transporting a ground crew after a 12-hour shift fighting the massive Airport Fire wildfire in Orange County. The vehicle swerved to avoid a ladder in the road, causing it to strike a guard rail and overturn. The firefighters are currently undergoing a formal critical incident stress debriefing. Let's keep them in our thoughts and prayers as they begin their long road to recovery. #firefighters #highwaycrash #orangecounty #wildfire
