I have never seen a Ford Focus used like that before, nice choice...lol

[04smallmj]

@pizzasubs That's actually a Ford Mondeo LOL... But we do use Focuses for the same purpose. They're popular with the police, too.

I heard i piercer siren at the very start, i love those

[geko7844]

hello? lots of flashing lights and sirens...

[jrlego10]

why did i flag that guy for spam :(

[stedon101]

Also FWIW every firefighter in Dublin is also a paramedic hence the double mandate of FF/EMT duties

[stedon101]

@5650170 i do get an emial even though you removed your comment - just to clarify, I was supporting the idea that people should get out of the way by just about whatever means nessecary. Also, this is a paramedic car operated by Dublin Fire Brigade, not a Fire Station Officer car etc etc.

[poitrenaud]

This is in Britain; yes?

[PCISFEAR]

@poitrenaud Nope dublin city, Ireland

[Nikon05]

dublins the worst place for not letting emergency services past, even on the n11 and m50, Ive seen so many stubborn fuckers not bother moving for ages

[TheThomasr333]

[fattyabbo]

[lanegane1]

@fattyabbo It's also a fire service vehicle aswell

[hseparamedic]

nice one

[mr556073]

See the prick in the cobra jeep running the light with the ambulance and then nearly running into the back of it !!

i hate those people.....

[urbex2007]

@mr556073 Emergency vehicles should NOT force people to cross a red traffic signal. As hard as it might be, you must wait until it is green before moving. In the UK you CAN and WILL be prosecuted for crossing a red light, even if forced to by an ambulance, fire engine or police car. You have NO defence if you cause an accident.

Guidelines now state that if an emergency vehicle is stuck in traffic, the siren is to be switched OFF and they are NOT to force people over junctions etc.

[stedon101]

@urbex2007 maybe so, but this is Ireland where guidlines and other assorted PC bullshit is not permitted to get in the way of a paramedic rushing to help someone. They'll use the footpath if it's urgent enough.

[stedon101]

If you're stupid enough not to get out of the way of a bright red and yellow retroreflective car with a 110db siren and abotu 16 LEDs flashing around it, you deserve to be laid out on the tarmac tbph.
