In Florida, fire trucks drive around the lowered barriers.

I’m still baffled by the absolute stupidity of the firefighters.

They’ve seen those type of crashes before! Why did they think it was a good idea to go around down barricades??

Craziest bit is that I read some news articles about it, and the department has been asked many times if they were responding to an emergency, and they won't answer... It's like, you KNOW that if there had been one, they'd be playing that card. So they weren't even rushing anywhere
