I did not go and snoop at the activity! About 20 minutes ago, I seriously believe I saw that nice lowered blue truck you are talking about. He was driving nicely today, but I have seen that truck before and many others drive through this area like there wheels are on fire or something. I am glad you remained safe and I really hope drivers learn how to behave and act during emergency situations. - LAM Wed, 30 Jul 2008 16:36:37 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/15364/2255/#comment-56224 I would bet the person driving the pickup doesn't pull to the side of the road and stop for emergency vehicles either. My hat is off to the engineers who have to drive these rigs through busy intersections while other oblivious people are listening to their tunes so loud they can't hear sirens or yakking it up on there cell phones instead of paying attention to their driving. You guys do a marvelous job and keeping everyone alive and I am appreciative of your efforts to do so. I pray every time that I hear a siren for you to reach your destinations safely so that you can help those who so desperately need your help.

I'm so glad to hear that all of you are okay, not so worried for MORON blue truck boy though ! He may not ever read this or even be able to read at ALL but I'm sure somebody out there knows who this moron is and reads it to him! He may not get a clue but hopefully his girlfriend may MAKE him get a clue and make him slow down next time. She won't be able to miss him while he's at DVI for possibly hurting her fatally in a crash like that could have been. PUNK!...... - rdnkbrat Wed, 30 Jul 2008 10:04:02 +0100 http://tracypress.com/content/view/15364/2255/#comment-56077 I'd just like to take a minute and thank the young couple in the nice blue lowered Chevy truck who nearly killed me and one of my crewman today during this fire. It has not even been 60 days since our last moron drove through the smoke and nearly killed two of my brothers and destroyed a fire engine, and it happened again today on this fire. We were literally 5 feet away and this truck busts through the smoke and nearly runs us over, and without quick thinking by my firefighter spraying his windshield with the hose (I swear I'm not making this up!) to get his attention, he would have plowed into the back of another fire engine! And before all of you so called experts debate the placement of the fire engine again, today we were parked with the flow of traffic, him and his girlfriend just decided to drive through smoke so thick we could not even breathe! What will it take?? A couple of firefighter funerals to get the message that when there is smoke, 99.9% of the time there are firefighters and firetrucks nearby!! Lucky for blue truck boy, the CHP was still on the way or you would probably be in jail tonite wondering why you were so ignorant. All we ask is for you to think about what you do and how you drive around emergency vehicles...it is literally our biggest fear; getting hit on one of our freeways or busy streets in town. If there is smoke, there is fire, plain and simple, and there will be firetrucks there somewhere. Don't think its safe to drive through and get lucky, nothing is too important to take that risk. Finally, for blue truck boy...you are one lucky son of a gun that we saw you before you hit us or that firetruck, your girlfriend would be missing you big time while you were doing 10-20 wearing a flowered pink sun dress at DVI. - rjfyrman Tue, 29 Jul 2008 19:55:42 +0100
