VIDEO/PHOTOS: The city of Hartselle says two firefighters were taken to the hospital after a fire truck hit a house Wednesday afternoon. In a post on social media, the city said that while returning from a fire call Wednesday, the driver of fire engine two experienced a medical emergency and lost control of the vehicle near the Dollar General on Highway 36 West. The Hartselle Police Department (HPD) said the emergency caused the driver to pass out. The city said the Lieutenant in the passenger seat was able to grab the steering wheel and get the truck out of oncoming traffic. However, officials said the firefighter was unable to fully regain control of the vehicle and it exited the roadway on the westbound side. The truck then struck the corner of an unoccupied house and continued moving before hitting a large pine tree.
