Firefighter Smith suffered third degree burns when she was involved in a three car accident on Mullis St. early Monday evening. The car in which Ms. Smith was riding was struck broadside by a vehicle operated by an allegedly intoxicated driver. Her vehicle was shoved across the road into proximity of another vehicle fully involved in fire. The driver of the burning car was not identified.
