In the summer of 1962, Truck 6 and Engine 2 came together at the corner of Light St and Fort Avenue. The Seagrave engine drove the truck into a convenience store on the corner, killing someone in the store. The front part of the building collapsed on the truck as it was being towed out. The Seagrave was junked but the truck was rrebuilt by the skilled folks at Baltimore's shop. At the time, the shop was operating out of a bus garage as the old shop building was being rebuilt. Still they did a great job resurecting that truck.
There's probably more information in Willy Murray's book, The Unheralded Heroes but I'm too lazy to dig it out.
