Donna Campbell, Chief/EMT of the Town Creek Fire Department, posted to Facebook that a wheat field fire Thursday destroyed the department’s Truck 502.

“I was out of the truck when the fire shifted and got back in to try to get the truck moved,” she writes. “The flames were coming up over the front, and I jumped out. Another firefighter was there from another department with me, and he tried spraying water on it.

“This is what our truck 502 looks like now. And this is what’s left of my helmet. None of my firefighters or any of the firefighters from the other two departments were injured. Thank you to Hatton and Red Bank for assistance. Thank you to Madison and Zack with Greg’s ambulance for coming and checking on us. Thank you to Amanda who was dispatching. My helmet was in the truck.”
