Three firefighters from Abilene, Texas are nursing minor injuries after a fire truck accident that was captured on videotape.

The firefighters were battling a blaze along some railroad tracks Wednesday when the unexpected happened. The truck was parked right near the tracks while the firefighters were busy spraying the flames when the truck rolled over.

The truck went down an embankment, injuring all three firefighters and trapping one of them for a short time. They were all taken to an area hospital where they were treated for minor injuries and released.

The fire department is still tallying up damage to the vehicle, which is a 2000 model brush truck.

that was a scary accident. but i hope they think to park a different way next time. that brush truck was parked the wrong way. it wasn't parked on flat ground. the driver could of killed that whole comapny. stupied on the driver. he should be fired or not be able to drive again. you never park a big brush truck like that on a slope
