No one was hurt in a morning fender-bender involving a Colorado Springs firetruck.
The pumper, which didn't have its emergency lights or sirens activated, was stopped at a light at the intersection of 30th Street and Colorado Avenue when a woman in a Honda CRV lost control of her car during a right-hand turn.
The Honda clipped the front bumper of the massive truck, which didn't budge. While the Honda sustained front-end damage, the firetruck gut a couple of scrapes on its chrome.
Firefighters hopped out and checked on the woman in the Honda and found her to be uninjured long before police arrived.
