a bit OTT 3 fire engines 2 ambulances. I remember when you just got out of your car rubbed your head and got on with it
For once I agree.
Looks like they were filming a TV show with that many Emergency vehicles present
Careless driving again.
Do they all go out so they get paid extra for a call out?
