central - east central Minnesota - | midwest - 3/3/2012 09:11 Do you train your firemen to drive tankers? We had a neighboring district that purchased a larger tanker. Long story short, they rolled it. More power than the old one, bigger.....a little taller.....driver went around a corner too fast. Injured a few guys. I know of a case, in the late 80's, in the Cities - where the driver of the fire truck, thought Trains need to yield to the fire truck - Totaled out a $280,000 dollar pumper / ladder trk, at that time. He didn't get fired or asked to leave either. |
