A little after the 5 min mark (believe its 5:15) a FF on the portable gets a nice blow to the head by 55 trucks aerial. Best part is there is a chief right next to the guy, hope he's ok tho. He didn't look like he was seriously hurt but probably had a hell of a headache

That member and the chief next to him are extremely lucky, if that ladder was swung a little further or if they were I between steps they both could have been tossed from those ladders and it most likely would have been a pretty bad outcome for the two, I do feel for the operator of the truck, he has to feel terrible right about now
