[color="#0000FF"]Engine 7's Mack "R" was repaired and returned to the company. The rig had been back in service only a few days when it was involved in a major collision with a bus at Sussex Avenue and Hudson Street while reponding to an alarm, on September 3, 1978. The rig was broadsided by the bus, forcing the pumper to jump the sidewalk and plow into the foundation of a dwelling. The driver of the pumper was injured, as well as two other firefighters who were thrown from the back step. The bus driver and eight passengers were also injured in the crash.
