Crane Removes Chicago Fire Apparatus From Collapsed Parking Garage

A Chicago fire apparatus needed a crane to be removed after nearly falling through a hole in a parking garage, reports CBS Chicago 2.

 

The truck was reporting to an emergency as a senior center. No one was hurt as the truck hung on the edge. Only the front bumper was keeping the entire truck from crashing to the lower level. A large slab of concrete underneath the truck had given way.
