The accident happened just before 1 pm Central time and caused one of the pumpers to roll onto its side.

All eight firefighters were transported to the hospital for minor injuries.  Seven of them have been released already, but the eighth will be held overnight for observation for a concussion.

KMOV-TV has raw video from their helicopter:

The fire was a worker in a commercial  residential building two blocks away from the accident site.  There is no further information available yet as investigation is just beginning.

    Thanks. Apparently the original video was put up by somebody who leaked it and is now afraid of having it tracked back to him. The city didn’t want it released. – FG
