My guess is that ARFF persons are not that well up to speed wit operating their vehicles on public roads, ive seen them drive around here, and they don't seem to slow up much for intersections.

As all of us that have been in the Emergency services know, even thou your allowed to run a red light, or stop sign, you must only do so if it is safe.
