THE FIREFIGHTERS AT THE SAINT-QUENTIN-sur-ISERE, France, firehouse were surprised Tuesday morning when a garbage truck suddenly dropped in through the roof of the station.

The rear of the terraced firehouse is just below a residential street that is on a hill and the truck suddenly lost its brakes. As it started coasting backwards and gaining speed all the while, the driver tried vainly to direct the truck to a safe area. As it approached the firehouse, the collector on the back of the truck dove into the garbage, likely saving his life.
The rear overhang of the truck crashed through the roof leaving the rear wheels suspended. It was later towed out successfully leaving only a corner of the station damaged and no personal injuries.
