BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK\/KBFX) \u2014 Firefighters were treating a person hurt from a crash when their fire engine was then involved in a crash on Highway 14. The second crash left another person hurt.<\/p>\n

The Kern County Fire Department said on Monday, November 17, 2025, at around 7:45 a.m., firefighters from the Mojave station responded to reports of a crash involving two passenger vehicles. When crews were arriving on Highway 14 near Silver Queen Road, personnel found the vehicles and began providing medical care to one person on scene, working alongside Hall Ambulance personnel.<\/p>\n

KCFD said while crews were actively treating the patient, a secondary crash happened on the highway involving two vehicles passing the original scene.<\/p>\n

One of the vehicles from the secondary crash lost control and struck the parked Kern County Fire Department engine.<\/p>\n

No KCFD firefighters, Hall Ambulance personnel, or California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers were injured during the impact.<\/p>\n

Crews quickly assessed the people involved in the secondary crash. KCFD said one person from that incident was treated on scene and transported to a local area hospital for further evaluation.<\/p>\n

KCFD said, \u201cRoadways continue to present one of the most dangerous environments for first responders. The combination of high-speed traffic and unpredictable driver behavior creates significant hazards during emergency operations.\u201d<\/p>\n

They said the incident serves as a reminder of the risks personnel face while working along our highways. \u201cPlease remember to slow down, remain alert, and move over when you see emergency crews operating on the roadway. Your caution helps ensure their safety,\u201d said KCFD.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BAKERSFIELD, Calif.
