A life changing apparatus accident. The Richard Marcus Story (SAM 235)

42 minutes

On this episode, I interview Firefighter Richard Marcus of the New Hartford Volunteer Fire Department in Connecticut. On May 5, 2006, Firefighter Marcus was in the officer's seat of New Hartford Engine 1 responding to a report of a fire on the roadside.

While in route, they were cancelled and a discussion in the cab caused the driver to become momentarily distracted. For the brief moment that he had his eyes off the roadway, the engine drifted of the right side of the road. While the driver attempted to correct and recover, the engine veered out of control and struck a tree on the officer's side of the engine. Listen as Richard tells his close call survivor story.
