    he did not move over, he did not reduce speed.

    fire trucks are not cheap. many times, they start at a mere half a million dollars.

    i'd hate to be his insurance company, when they get told (what looks like 4) fire trucks are getting totaled out.

    gonna be at least a 2 million dollar claim for starters, just for the equipment, not including all accessories those trucks carry to emergencies....jaws of life, cutting saws, etc,etc.

    hey, at chinatown......get ready to help some guy get his next job............!!!!!!!!!!!

    about as much as a pole jumped out in front of me, or....several cars got in front of me in a construction zone, and hit thier brakes.
