West Valley Fire District ambulance catches fire during patient transport, Oregon, US

​A mechanical malfunction caused an ambulance to catch fire by the Oak Knoll Golf Course Tuesday afternoon, 23 February 2021. At about 12h17pm, crews from Southwest Polk County Fire District were called out to a vehicle fire in front of the Oak Knoll Golf Course, located at 6335 Highway 22. Southwest Polk County Fire District said in a statement that a West Valley Fire District ambulance was in the process of transporting a patient from a car crash that had also occurred on Highway 22 when a mechanical malfunction in the engine area caused smoke to begin filling the ambulance.
 
The EMT crew pulled over and discovered the vehicle had caught fire. Crews successfully got the crash patient out of the ambulance and called for an ambulance intercept from the nearest available ambulance and began to remove equipment from the burning rig to prevent it from being damaged.
 
"The quick action of the ambulance crew kept the patient safe and saved most equipment that was removable," fire officials said.
 
Dallas, Oregon, Fire and EMS responded to continue transport of the patient to the hospital. Fire fighters from the Southwest Polk County Fire District extinguished the flames and no one was injured in the blaze. Officials said the ambulance is a total loss.
