PHOTO - One man was injured after a Waukomis fire truck ran off the road Thursday afternoon near Bison while responding to a fire call.
The Waukomis firefighter was transported to Integris Bass Baptist Health Center after being trapped inside the truck for about 30 minutes. Waukomis Fire Department personnel were responding to a controlled burn that got out of control northeast of Bison when a water tanker overturned.
The water tanker was traveling south on Leona Mitchell toward Osborne Road when it went off the right side of the road and rolled, coming to rest on its side.
Two firefighters were inside, and one was able to get out while the other was pinned. The pinned fireman was extricated. He was able to walk to a stretcher and then was taken to Bass.
Oklahoma Highway Patrol, Waukomis Police Department and Garfield County Sheriff's Office responded to the accident, which still is under investigation.
