Gordon says firefighters on scene also took part with some clean-up…
Gordon did not have an estimate as to how much fluid spilled out of the truck or what caused the hydraulic system to lose it’s pressure, but it was certainly a unique response to a call…
Bucket trucks like the one involved in Monday’s incident have a lockout safety system that prevents the boom and bucket from crashing down whey hydraulic pressure is lost. The call came in around 2:30 Monday afternoon.
