VALENCIA COUNTY, N.M. --

Two Meadow Lake firefighters are recovering from injuries after a rollover crash in their fire truck. The volunteer firefighters were called into service Thursday night to respond to a mobile home fire.

On the way, they lost control of their truck on a Valencia County Road and it rolled over several times.

Emergency crews rushed both men to the hospital. They suffered cuts and bruises and one dislocated his shoulder in the crash.

Valencia county's fire chief told Action 7 News that deputies are trying to figure out whether alcohol was a factor in the accident. No criminal charges have been filed.

The truck suffered serious damage in the crash and may be a total loss. Both men are expected to be OK.
