The Houston, Texas, Fire Department said in a Facebook post that the fire engine was blocking traffic on an exit ramp when an 18-wheeler hit it.
The department said that all four firefighters were taken to the hospital.
They are all expected to recover.
“Blocking traffic on the freeway is one of the most dangerous tasks we do,” Fire Chief Thomas Muñoz said. ”We’re extremely grateful that every member of Engine 104 is expected to recover, and we ask drivers to slow down and move over when they see emergency crews working.”
