Two of the firefighters were transported as trauma alerts in serious condition, according to Delray Beach Fire Rescue Chief Ronald Martin, who had just arrived at the scene of the crash from Delray Medical Center, where he had been visiting the firefighters. A third firefighter was also transported.

Delray Beach Police said on X the intersection of East Atlantic Avenue and Southeast 1st Avenue is closed due to the accident.

Rescue workers were in stable condition at a local hospital and 12 people from the train were treated for minor injuries. It wasn't clear why the ladder truck crossed the tracks in front of an oncoming train.
