**Incident Overview:**
On June 15, Engine 16 was en route to a reported structure fire just two blocks away when it got involved in a minor collision at the intersection of 39th and Wallace. The call was logged as a 1B accident, and shortly after Engine 16 informed dispatch about the incident, a "pin-in" response was requested. Squad 1, which had been occupied with the ongoing fire nearby, was rerouted to assist at the accident scene.
The initial report indicated that the impact resulted in only slight damage to the fire engine, as evidenced by the final image included here. However, one member of the Engine 16 crew sustained injuries requiring transport to Christ Hospital for further evaluation.
