    I saw yesterday the other truck Ladder 119 (not involved in this MVA) turning very wild from Division to Berry So wild Almost flipping over.
    A few pedestriens started running away for fear they gonna get hurt.
    Braves please slow it down a notch.

    Some things just don’t change. In Williamsburg, fire engines have been racing to non existent fires at all hours of the day and night for at least 50 years now. Time to investigate this phenomenon.

    #4 , #6 ,#8 – u could say whatever u want , my house your house, they r taake de bravest but they drive like maniacs chaiyes they don’t have any consideration , drivers not always see them or hear them for whatever reason , There is a protocol how to drive to an emergency and they don’t keep up to that, they r much faster, until es gelungt its ok but if there is an accident don’t blame de vehicle its the fire engine’s fault
