In my experience, the firies would chase down any potential 'victim', crash-tackle them, skull-drag them kicking and screaming BACK to the aircraft / vehicle / whatever, so they could then 'rescue' them, preferably with the 'Jaws of Life', preferably reducing the aircraft / vehicle / whatever to a pile of chopped up little bits in the process......a process that would last as long as possible..........
HAHAHAHA, how true.
Hopes to be back in there air next week. He was just practicing crash landings for when he gets in the scarebus
