Mount Charleston fire truck tips over, blocks road
A fire truck on Mount Charleston was tipped onto its side for several hours Saturday.
The Mount Charleston fire truck rolled over about 11:30 a.m. on State Route 158 near mile marker 6, said Nevada Highway Patrol trooper Jason Buratczuk.
No injuries were reported, and it’s unknown if weather was a factor in the rollover.
A special heavy-duty tow truck was requested to help turn the fire truck over. “It will be dark before it’s on its wheels again,” Buratczuk said.
The fire truck was still on its side as of at least 4 p.m., and the Highway Patrol said the road was closed as crews worked to clear the roadway.
