A girl under the age of 10 was struck by the driver of a fire truck near St. Clair Avenue West and Oakwood Avenue on Monday afternoon, police say.

Const. David Hopkinson told the Star that the girl likely sustained either a “broken hip or broken leg.” Police later reported that injuries were “serious but not life-threatening.”

Hopkinson said that fire services made the initial emergency call, and that they were performing first aid until paramedics got to the scene, at which point the girl was taken to hospital via “an emergency route.”

Toronto Fire Chief Matthew Pegg tweeted in response to the incident.

“A short time ago, a @Toronto_Fire truck struck a young girl while on an emergency response to a fire,” Pegg wrote. “A full investigation is underway by @TorontoPolice and TFS. Thankful that she is reported to be in stable condition. I extend my wishes for a speedy and full recovery.”

Police said after the collision that the fire truck had “emergency equipment activated.”
