Thats a good one, yes I remember now that a fire engine driver was fired from his job for running a red light to get to an emergency. Of course he had his lights and sirens on.

Heaven forbid that he was actually rushing to potentially save lives.

That's completely messed up.  At least around here, police/fire/emergency vehicles have full authority to drive through red lights when responding to emergencies.  In fact, many ambulances have transponders that will automatically change the light to green at major intersections.
