(LaPresse) Two fire trucks collided during firefighting operations in New Jersey, injuring eight firefighters, three of them seriously, authorities said. As a result of the impact, one fire engine crashed into a tree while the other crashed into a supermarket. Chief Brian McDermott of the Paterson Fire Department told NorthJersey.com that the three most seriously injured are in stable condition with “non-life-threatening” injuries. The fire in the store was extinguished with no injuries. A preliminary investigation indicates that the fire may have been sparked by lithium-ion batteries in the store.
