At approximately 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 13, Engine 3 was responding to a medical call when crews reported they had been involved in a collision with a bus at the intersection of Tejon Street and Bijou Street in downtown Colorado Springs.

Four Colorado Springs firefighters were aboard Engine 3 and were transported to local hospitals with injuries. Seven people, including the driver, were on the bus, and five bus occupants were transported to local hospitals for evaluation and treatment of injuries.

Additional CSFD units responded to the scene to provide patient care, assist with the extrication of the bus driver, and support our firefighters. In total, 21 CSFD personnel responded.

We are grateful for the immediate response of our crews, our public safety partners, and the medical teams caring for those involved.

Please keep all of those involved in your thoughts as they recover.

This afternoon at our 3rd annual Flag Day Ceremony in downtown Colorado Springs, I had the honor of presenting the Spirit of Colorado Springs Flag Day Award to retired Colorado Springs Police Officer and U.S. Army veteran Sgt. Olav Chaney.

For 35 years, Sgt. Chaney has served and protected our community. Through his leadership of the Colorado Springs Police Department’s Homeless Outreach Team, he has balanced accountability with compassion while improving the health, safety, and well-being of our city.

Flag Day is a celebration of the American flag that occurs each year on June 14, which is the anniversary of the flag’s official adoption.
