A country’s emergency services are very important, and whether it’s the police, ambulance or fire department, they always have right of passage and their path should never be crossed, especially when they are fully lit up and sounding their sirens.
Fire trucks in particular are extremely vulnerable, especially those which carry water around, as it can slush around in the back, very easily destabilizing the whole truck, even after a minor impact. Take this crash, filmed somewhere in Russia, where a fire truck attempts to cross an intersection, only to clip a smaller car, and eventually end up on its side, on the side of the road.
It just goes to show how dangerous and just how much inertia such vehicles carry around, keeping in mind the fact that they are driving to solve an emergency, they could just as easily cause one or more even bigger ones along the way.
