Cars were halted as the firetruck activated a traffic signal in front of the station, but a driver heading northbound on Pleasant Hill Road went around the stopped cars for an unknown reason and collided with the engine, the department said.
No firefighters were seriously injured in the crash and crews coordinated with Orlando Health to airlift an occupant of the vehicle to the hospital, officials said.
The department said another engine was dispatched to deal with the fire alarm call and that the Florida Highway Patrol will investigate the crash.
