OMAHA, Neb. -- An Omaha fire truck responding to a house fire was hit by a car Friday morning.

The collision between the car and fire truck happened at 60th Street and Ames Avenue. Omaha police said the car's driver may have been distracted by a cruiser driving in the opposite direction with the lights on.

The car collided with the fire engine, which also had its lights and sirens on.

There were no injuries and only minor damage to the fire truck.

The fire crew was on its way to a house fire at 42nd Street and Grand Avenue.

Everyone got out safely, thanks to neighbors and a family dog, which woke the residents up.

The fire was contained to the back of the building and is under investigation.
