Silver Fire Run Over by Vehicle 2009

On September 21, 2009, at approximately 2130 hours, the gray water truck driver drove into the center of the racetrack from the west end of the track. After pumping the gray water from the shower holding bladder(s) into the truck, he proceeded to turn the truck around to position it to exit the area at the NE side of the track. The gray water truck struck the firefighter with its right front tire while moving forward and again when in reverse. The driver exited the truck twice, in response to hearing unusual noises but did not see the FF’s sleeping bag until the second time he looked, after backing up. Once the TD saw that the FF was injured, he ran to get medical aid from the ICP medical unit. The FF was initially unconscious, but regained consciousness soon after while receiving preliminary medical aid from BLM and ICP EMTs. A BLM crewmember called 911 at 2237 hours.
