Can someone estimate the real cost of some accident like this? I'm genuinely curious given it is potentially minimal damage to the truck but then there's medical costs for the people inside and other stuff. I'd guess somewhere between $100,000-150,000 but I legitimately have no idea.
In Philly a few year ago two fire trucks crashed into each other at an intersection. Both were totalled. They were the big full sized ladder trucks and I believe they cost in the neighborhood of almost $1M a piece to replace them. Not sure what other equipment that may have included. Smaller trucks like these are probably a couple of hundred thousand.
Very poor intersection practice. Blowing through red lights amped up in route to a fire. Fires are simply not that common anymore. When they do happen people get fired up hehe. Also a lot of new firefighter across the county with less experience.
