Scotland Fd ladder crashes into tree while enroute to mutual aid fire..

Two Scotland firefighters were injured in a crash while en route to battle a blaze in Hampton Saturday morning.
Chief Daniel Syme, 54, and Deputy Chief Scott Cormier, 34, of the Scotland Volunteer Fire Department suffered minor injuries in the crash.
Fire officials said that the truck slammed into a tree while on its way to house fire. Both Syme and Cormier were pulled to safety and sent to an area hospital.
"They're both home and safe now, that's the No. 1 priority of this department," said Chief Richard Shank of the Hampton Fire Department. "Reports I received was that one of the tires got off on the soft shoulder, and it kind of drew the truck off and hit a tree."
On South Bigelow Road, arriving Hampton firefighters found a vacant home destroyed by flames.
"It's devastation, loss of my life," said homeowner Bruce Chamberlin.
Chamberlin said he had just rented the home to a new tenant.
"The appliances were coming in, carpet went in on Tuesday, he already had some of his clothes moved in already," he said.
Shank said one of the department's trucks is now out of commission.
