SMITH COUNTY, Texas — **EDITOR'S NOTE: The video above contains graphic language and content.

Officials are searching for the driver who hit a Smith County ESD 2 firefighter on Sunday night.

According to SCESD2, around 8:30 p.m., a firefighter who was responding to a crash on FM 850 was struck by a vehicle. 

The firefighter was taken to a hospital where they were treated and released. SCESD2 says this is the second time one of their firefighters has been hit in the last month. 

"It was just a few weeks ago that we posted about vehicles driving around the traffic cones as firefighters were working a scene," SCESD2 said. "Drivers, you must pay attention. Our firemen have wives, children, families of their own. This should not be happening."

The suspect vehicle is described as a 90s model GMC Sierra 1500 step-side.
