Large crowd surrounds, climbs on responding Calif. fire engine
“ OAKLAND, Calif. — A California fire engine responding to an emergency was surrounded by a large crowd of people who banged and climbed on it on the Fourth of July, video shows.
Oakland Firefighters Local 55 wrote in a Facebook post that fire crews responded to hundreds of calls for service and dozens of fires across the city on Saturday, and that the engine seen in the video was delayed in its response due to the crowd's interference.
"Thankfully, the cool headed crew was patient with a crowd that was jumping, dancing and banging on the fire engine and no one was seriously hurt, but our inability to respond to emergencies when we are needed most is distressing," stated the union's Facebook post.”

Only in the people's republic of kalifornia! Had that happened with my crew on my engine those people would have been introduced to the term Pump and Roll!

All the Firefighters I know are VERY Protective of their Chariots of Fire!

I'm really surprised that the guys inside that truck didn't respond when the idiots were out there jumping up and down on it.crazy2medic wrote: ↑Mon Jul 06, 2020 6:28 pm All the Firefighters I know are VERY Protective of their Chariots of Fire!
