Two San Antonio firefighters injured, transported to hospital, after two fire trucks collide on S. Zarzamora Street, responding to a call.

Two fire trucks collided Monday morning while responding to a fire on the West Side and two firefighters were taken to the hospital.

The crash occurred in the 2200 block of S. Zarzamora near U.S. 90 at around 11:05 a.m. and the two firefighters were not seriously injured but were taken to the hospital for cautionary reasons, said SAFD Fire Chief Charles Hood.

“We are very, very happy there weren't more serious injuries,” Hood said.

Engine 33 was coming down an exit ramp when it collided with Ladder 8 while responding to a call for a structure fire and possible electrocution, he said.

All firefighters in the vehicle were wearing a seat belt.

“If they were not, we probably would have somebody in the street, unfortunately,” he said.

Hood said it is unclear if rainy weather conditions caused the collision or if the crash was the result of equipment or an operating error.

The fire department will tow the vehicles back to a station to run inspections to determine the cause of the collision and assess damages. Two reserve firefighters will be called in for the injured.
