Two firefighters in Mason County are OK after their fire truck rolled over.

The two firefighters, ages 34 and 40, were attempting to make a turn from State Route 102 (SR 102) to US 101 near the Sanderson Airport overnight on July 5 when a mechanical issue with the truck caused it to roll.

“Vehicle One was traveling eastbound on SR 102 attempting to make a right-hand turn onto southbound US 101,” the Washington State Patrol (WSP) wrote in a memo obtained by KIRO Newsradio. “Vehicle One experienced a mechanical failure that caused it to lose control and roll over. Vehicle One came to rest in the northbound ditch on its top.”

Neither crew members were hurt in the incident, according to WSP. Both were wearing their seatbelts when the accident happened.
