Minden’s new Rescue Truck was called into service Wednesday morning to assistant Claiborne Parish Fire with a rescue call in Athens.

“A bulldozer turned on its side and pinned a man underneath,” said Minden Fire Chief Brian Williams.

The chief said Pafford EMS was transporting the unidentified individual to a nearby helicopter. His condition is unknown at this time.

“He was alert and talking when they transported him,” Williams said.
