Different Fire Department Drivers!

"JIM NO, FIRETRUCKS CAN'T DRIFT AROUND CORNERS!"
"Don't worry, I got this."

[tategruenwald]

This guy is like a happier, Firefighter version of Angry Cops

You forgot “I’m taking on coming traffic lane all the way to the call” guy. Never been so scared in all my life.

[jessiegutierrez]

Dude everyone is 10sec Tom at 3 am lol!

[ClassicalRips]

You forgot about officer happy horn, who never leaves any air pressure left!

[darylfranck]

Absolutely dead on. I think I have driven with all of these drivers and also have been each of those drivers as well at some point. lol

[Mrstealth]

The " I got this " skit would really have sold it with a loud crunch or scraping.

[spencerberklite]

How about the last second turns guy that almost rolls the rig every run

[nvelsen]

You can also add "Urban your fault guy". Because so often people park illegally in a way a fire engine doesn't fit through anymore. Especially in poorly planned cities. I've seen it happen in a tight street where there was only parking on one side allowed, but EVERYBODY parks on both sides.

First the firefighters had one get out and carefully tried to squeeze through with his indications, but doing half a car length in 30 seconds, the driver's face changed to a solemn "Right, screw this" gestured indications guy to get back in.
Then he floored it and scraped along 25 or so cars before flying around the next corner, leaving two neighbours who had heard the scraping sounds speechless.

It made the newspaper. Anyone who tried to claim their damages with the fire department was rewarded with a fine for illegal parking by the police, who no doubt apreciated, the self-incrimination those car owners did.

Legally it's impossible to claim your damages in such a situation. If you parked illegally, you're considered the cause. It's only if you did no wrong and firefighters damage your car, that you can be entitled to compensation.

My partner would brake to the beat of his music.

Brake check guy is famous for launching the officer’s helmet through the front window.

I've seen a few "By the Book" ambulances literally going slower than the flow of traffic with their lights and sirens on. Personally, if I'm ever in need of EMS or Fire, I want the "First Due or Nothin'" responding.

[benjaminpark]

I feel Ten Second Tom to my core. My partner can give me an address and by the time my hand touches the GPS Ive forgotten all of it

[local_hotpotato]

"Is that .. Is it .. SNOW AND ICE?"
"oh god no"
*Eurobeat intensifies*

[zulimi]

I know a bus driver who is a retired firetruck driver. He is still an "I got this!" guy. Teens love his style.

[isaks]

My old colleague used to be a fire fighter and he was the "it will fit" type of guy.

And to his credit, it always did even tho it was too close for comfort in more than one occasion.

One time did he drive through a fate at a burning school, he snapped off all the side markings on the truck but the truck itself was unharmed. This opening was roughly 10mm wider (less than half an inch) than the truck itself and it was hell on earth to try and get the damn thing out through the gate again when they were done

[tomb]

When I got to ride in a fire truck, I asked the man: "Can you run the siren?" He said to me "This siren? It's only supposed to be used in "emergencies" (Yes, he used finger air quotes)... Oh hold on, we do have to test it!" He then smiled, flipped them on, then asked on the radio "Can anyone hear that?" and left them running.

[dindin]

I am definitely the "I've got this guy" when I'm on a forklift

[DamienTB]

"10 second Tom" was my nickname back in College, but uh, for different reasons.

[matthewjohnston]

We used to have a fire fighter Years ago who was terrified of storms with lightning involved he would swerve and scream with every flash it's a wonder he never had an accident 😂
