PROVIDENCE (WPRI) -- An unoccupied Providence firetruck rolled down a hill and struck a building after it wasn’t properly secured while on a call, Target 12 has learned. Lindsay Lague, a department spokesperson, confirmed the incident that happened on Nov. 7, while Engine 9 was responding to a call at Wingate Assisted Living on Butler Avenue in the East Side of Providence. (Courtesy: Providence Fire Department) Firefighters entered the building around 3 p.m. When they returned, the truck wasn't there. It was later found down a short distance away down a hill in the parking lot of the facility, resting against a brick building at 201 Pitman St. The truck was briefly taken out of service to conduct an investigation and assess damage, according to Lague. “Both the vehicle and building received minor damage and Engine 9 returned to service without issues,” Lague wrote in an email. No one was injured. The investigation found firefighters failed to apply what are called “chocks” to the truck's tires, which are blocks used to prevent heavy vehicles from moving when parked. “The firefighters assigned to the incident received discipline for their actions,” Lague said. “As always, all protocols are expected to be followed to ensure the safety of firefighters and constituents.” Lague declined to provide details on the nature of the discipline. An image provided by the department shows the front driver's side bumper of the firetruck slightly pushed in, and a top metal plate bent, preventing a hose box from being able to close. Engine 9 is stationed at a nearby fire house on the edge of the Brown University campus.
