    It's cool, I just wonder what was going on there? Claims they didn't see the gates down, when they clearly were. Sure made a mess of that fire truck, to the tune of half a mil, not to mention impending lawsuits, oh boy, this will take a while.

    Sounds like someones faces are redder than the fire engine. Colossal screw up, I'd say.

    Were they actually responding to a call or was this a joy ride to the supermarket in a $500K grocery getter?

    They were responding to a call according to the article. They were waiting for a freight train to pass when they attempted to cross the tracks and got hit!
    Brightline trains run on tracks that are shared and owned by the Florida East Coast Railway. Their trains run at speeds between 80 to 125 mph,depending on the track location.
