Heavy rainfall rolled through North Texas on Friday, causing flash floods that required water rescues, several house fires likely started by lightning strikes, and numerous crashes with injuries.
One such crash involved a Dallas Fire-Rescue fire engine that rolled onto its side when responding to a house fire during the heavy rain.
Four Dallas firefighters from Station 49 were on board the fire engine when it hit a slick spot during a downpour near West Ledbetter and Parkwood drives at about 8 p.m., according to Deputy Chief Kenneth Cullins.
