I understand that these situations probably fall in the 'not-so-wise' department but I am sure these scenarios are a very small minority of most emergency personnel decisions. There may have even been a reason to make such drastic moves. I'm sure we all know how time is crucial in emergency situations. The reason I say this is that I have many, many personal friends and relatives who are firefighters, police and paramedics, and they are truly under paid and under-thanked (?) for the work they do and the things they see every day. I also know that we (civillian drivers) make their jobs much harder a majority of the time. -Neill freebsd@nc.rr.com P.S. I don't mean to imply that you don't respect these folks, but as in all circumstances you can't judge a group of people based on the small portion that have made some (possibly) poor decisions.
