I can appreciate the need for speed. But, as a fire fighter paramedic, I hope you were driving safely and responsibly. Fire fighters are there to save lives and protect property; so, you don't want to endanger lives and property going to a call. It kind of defeats the purpose.
Just trying to keep up a good public image for all of the fire fighters.
