At 1056 hours on Feb. 9, 2018 the Randolph District FD and Farmville FD were dispatched to the 2400 block of Cumberland Rd. for a propane delivery truck which had overturned and crashed into a tree. The driver amazingly walked away from the wreck and a passenger suffered cuts and bruises as the cab of the vehicle was crushed by the tree. Propane and diesel fuel were leaking from the vehicle and fire units set up a master stream and hand line to disperse the propane. Mutual aid was requested from Cumberland FD, Cartersville FD and Prospect FD as well as Virginia Department of Emergency Management. Cumberland Road (Route 45) was shut down by command for 6 hours and the Department of Transportation set up detour sign and controlled traffic.
