With a local renegade farmin getting a 30 day suspension I feel safer now. I don't have to worry about that idiot running through an intersection in a fire truck.

Why would they suspend the two fire fighters. I could understand the lt and the driver but seems like over kill with the two that could not do anything about the two in the front seats..
