When you see ten firemen crowding around a disaster...
Having worked Santa Barbara and knowing the FD there, I couldn't help but chuckle at the thought of all of those boys being on scene, probably debating what to do and how to do it (You saw there was someone in charge there, didn't you?) and this SeaBee squad shows up and says; "While you guys figure things out let us use our Big Boy Toy to make sure nobody gets killed!"
Now, of course this was 27 years ago. Perhaps they've gotten better. But isn't that an unwieldy bunch of Turnout coats jammed together for something that screams for the delicacy of at most two pairs of surgical gloves? It looked like a one-hour lingerie sale at Macy's!
One fart and them and Mom and 2 kids fly off the bridge.
(I recall being in the cab of an overturned 18-wheeler working on the driver suspended upside down while there was a gas leak in the cab and the boys of SBFD above me setting up a circular saw to grind into the door! Talk about brown stuff leaking out over my socks!)
