A Montreal firetruck is stuck in what appears to be a pothole of its own making Wednesday afternoon.
According to the city's fire department (SIM), the current theory is that the truck was stopped at a red light when the road caved in under one of its tires.
An operation is underway at the corner of Stanley Street and De Maisonneuve Boulevard downtown to free the fire engine.
It appears that the patch of road involved was recently paved.
The SIM confirmed that the truck was not responding to an emergency when it became trapped.
Nearly two hours after getting stuck, the truck was freed from the hole, which firefighters said was three feet deep.
