Prepare to react in an instant


Name: FireRescue1 Staff


When driving to a call, act as though motorists are talking on their cell phone, applying makeup and generally not paying attention to their surroundings. Don't expect drivers to respond to flashing lights and sirens. Drive defensively and prepare to react in an instant. The safety of your crew and the victims at the scene depends on you.
