/me wonders how they got their siren to flash.

This is another reason I don't like L&S. They are child magnets.

Unfortunately they are necessary for some emergencies.

My heart goes out to the family and friends of this child.

My thoughts and prayers for the family......-_-

I can only imagine how those firemen must feel. :sad:

Link fixed.

I saw this somewhere else, and it was mentioned as "a horrible situation for all involved"
I don't think I can put it better. It sounds like a tragic accident.

Oh that is horrific, and very traumatic sounding for everyone. I'll them all in my prayers.

There is a general discussion that we are attempting to mandate no l/s through school zones due to possible tragic incidence alike this.

In my state you can keep your L/S on, but you MUST obey the 20mph signs in school zones.

^
"Can", "should," and "will" are three different questions.

I like the idea of keeping the lights on, sound siren as needed, but keeping it under 25 in school zones.

 

[Aidey]

If you get caught, you're fired, ticketed, and get your state license pulled. So yeah, there is quite the motivation to follow the rules.

I was actually refering more to the "can keep L/S on" part than the speed limit part.
