Yeah, I saw that video not long ago. I have no problem with the fire truck driver shoving this asshole all the way back into his mama's 'gina. And then charging his whole fam damnly 10x the cost of repairs to re-shine the bumper on the Fire Truck. I have not one speck of tolerance or forgiveness to those that do not get the fuck out of the way, of emergency vee-hicles. None, with a capital 0....

Why didn’t they make it to the gas leak? That big truck push his ass back into yesterday snap a pic of his license plate and let the cops deal with him later. Push him back continue on your way, deal with him later. Driver was a major asshole. Or had an aneurysm. | |||

I was in a high rise fire back in 1989 and was the first to run to the curb to pull the fire alarm. Then I ran to the next one and pulled it, then I ran across the street and pulled those, too. That triggered pretty much every firehouse in the district. I could hear the wailing within seconds of pulling the first alarm switch. Before the first truck arrived, WSBTV Channel 2's Chevy Shoveit was on scene, blocking the driveway as he lept from the car with his camera. People had broken out the windows and were screaming for help. The first truck to arrive was a hook and ladder rear steer. He hit that Shoveit so hard, it tumbled into the parking lot. The guard shack disintegrated as the truck smashed through. The rear steer operator disengaged the ladder and started lowering the pads and when the truck stopped, it was firmly planted with the ladder going up to the now fully involved 6th floor with the firefighters climbing as it was extending. The news car just lay there in the grass smashed like a beer can. ____________________________ Eeewwww, don't touch it! Here, poke at it with this stick. | |||

As it should. That’s a real fireman. My only issue with this event is that somehow this trifle stopped them from getting there. What if the leak actually turned bad and they were needed? They let this event stop them. For no real reason. If that was my fire house we would learn a lesson from this event. Primarily that getting to the fire is more important than arguing with idiots. | |||

Of the three fire departments I was on all had the policy if we were involved in a collision we could not leave the scene until released by responding LEO. People are idiots.They can’t be inconvenienced for twenty seconds to cede the right of way to an emergency vehicle but if the call involves them it’s “What took you so long?” New Mexico state law in the 80’s mandated that when emergency equipment was activated we could exceed the posted limit by ten miles per hour. In truth, do what you have to which we did with reason. Taking a ground transfer to Albuquerque (85 or so miles) on I-25 guy is in front of me doing 50 in a posted 55 back then. I’m running Code 2 lights only but enough lights to be seen. He’s hanging in the left lane and I “Yelp” him a couple of times. Finally pulls to the right lane, I see his mouth going as he flips me off. So I give him back the single finger salute and roll. Really hoped that he was going to call my FD to complain but no such luck. I had just the perfect cop to call him back. -------------------------------------—————— ————————--Ignorance is a powerful tool if applied at the right time, even, usually, surpassing knowledge(E.J.Potter, A.K.A.

He's the one inside the double double yellow lines. And he doesn't want to back away from the fire truck? What kind of stupid is that? "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

The idiot driver has no right of way whatsoever. He was across the double yellow trying to jump traffic to get into a left turn lane past the fire station, it looks like. I mean, not only do you already need to yield to them, but you sure as shit need to do so when you're already breaking the law and then encounter an emergency vehicle. ---------------------------- Chuck Norris put the laughter in "manslaughter" Educating the youth of America, one declension at a time. | |||
