A firetruck lies overturned in Brownsville, Brooklyn, yesterday after it rolled while turning a corner.

Firefighters tend to their injured comrades from Ladder Co. 120 after yesterday's accident.

A firetruck flipped three times as it raced to a blaze in Brooklyn yesterday, leaving six firefighters injured.

The smoke-eaters from Ladder Co. 120 were taken from the wreckage on stretchers and were listed in serious but stable condition at Kings County Hospital yesterday.

"It looked like something out of a movie," said stunned witness Brandon Harris.

"I saw it coming down the street and it was going pretty fast. It went to make a left and just flipped over and smashed through a fence and into a disused lot."

The firetruck was heading to a fire at 180 Powell St. in Brownsville at around 12:30 p.m. when the accident happened.

It is unclear what caused the crash, but witnesses say it was traveling at speeds over 70 mph.

As it made a left turn from Sutter Avenue into Powell Street, the driver appeared to lose control and the vehicle went over onto two wheels.

"They had to be going 75 mph. It was like a skid, then a boom. It sounded like a bomb," said Jermel Wilson, 23.

"It flipped three times. People just climbed out. They were trying to get other people out."

Another firetruck following behind screeched to a halt, and firefighters began to help their stricken colleague clamber out.

"It looked like something deadly was going to happen when it turned over," said Lenny McCulough. 49. "It was laying on its side. The guys on the inside tried to get out from the cab.

"One of the firemen pushed the door open, and I saw two or three firemen get out on top. It was something I've never seen before. He was going to fast, it happened so quickly.

"There was another firetruck behind them. The men jumped out and tried to help."

An FDNY spokesman, who said they were looking into the cause of the accident, added: "Six firefighters were injured. They are all in a serious but stable condition."
