Yeah, I noticed that too. I still think it was just reckless driving.

Not sure why you feel the need to defend this firefighter to the end. From what I have seen, it looks like he screwed up. Does this alone make him a bad firefighter? No. It means he made a mistake, and he is human. Things should be learned from his mistake.

Have you ever heard the saying "those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it?" I would say that by studying and critiquing the actions of this firefighter, others will learn.

But then again, what do I know? I clearly don't have any training (as you were nice enough to point out), so how could I possibly know that he was driving too fast?

And by the way, wouldn't learning from his mistakes so that another person does not do the same thing and end up dead or injured count as the "PTB" you are talking about? And for that matter, the "EGH" as well?

It means "F@#$ the mutt (people who try to harm firefighters or do them injustice), protect the brother." Why he threw it in here is a good question. I think it was because he didn't want anybody bad-mouthing the actions of the firefighter in question.

Lots on Monday Morning QBs here I see...
Here are some FACTS, but don't let them get in the way of your smartass comments....:rolleyes:
L13 USED to be a Tiller Co, until the mutts that run the city decided that they don't need to pay an additional fireman, so they cut the tiller, and make it a straight stick. For those not educated as to why that is a major factor, a tiller co is MUCH easier to turn on a dime then a straight stick.
DFDs "maintence" division is shoddy at best, so the chances of this being mechanical are extremely high.
The Chauffer has been on the job 10+ years. He is no wet behind the ears rookie who is driving for the first time. He has driven that route before. He knows the limitations of his driving, the road, and his apparatus.

You have to be kidding me. Are you actually trying to sound like you know SOMETHING about DFD?
