LANDRUM––Officials with Glassy Mountain Fire Department were responding to a fire on Oak Grove Road in Landrum, on May 23, when a fire truck on the scene was interfered with.

According to officials, a black Dodge 1500 pickup truck wouldn’t allow the fire truck to pass, and the driver then blocked the path to the location of the reported fire.

Once the fire truck was able to reach the location of the fire, the driver of the Dodge assaulted a firefighter. He then fled from the scene.
