Following through on a fantasy

[Alram]

Hi

There was an incident this week in Toronto, wherein a fellow stole a fire truck and led police on a wild chase before he finally rolled it on its side and tried to flee on foot.  The aftermath

Although this was a dangerous incident (luckily no one was hurt by the erratic driving) I had to chuckle a bit.  There is something about the chance to drive a fire truck that resonates in a lot of us.

Years ago, a couple of friends of my husband *almost* did this.  After a suitable amount of alcohol intake, they decided to play firefighters too.  They broke into a small town fire hall (the kind that is manned by volunteer firefighters, and has no permanent staff).    The only reason they did not get to take the drive was that they took the time needed to get fully suited up for the occasion before foraying out.  They were apprehended by the local police as they climbed aboard, fully tricked out in the entire firefighter regalia.    :rolleyes:

So - has anyone else dreamed of driving a fire truck?
