Brojos,
Today I was pulled over by a fire truck! They were coming up behind with their lights so I got over to the right as you should. Next thing I know they pull in behind me! The fireman came out and acted almost like a police officer and let me off with a warning. Could this have been some sort of bet? Anyone ever heard of this before? Is it legal?
Video/Photo or GTFO.
I think they are allowed to.
I (or anyone) could do this to you and it would be legal
Was the course hilly?
Why would you ask the brojos this question. 1/10 for originality only.
Did they look relaxed?
They were pissed at you for not donating at that last intersection where they were passing around to boot! Sara smile.
Must not have been a very big fire.
This thread is perfect timing. I was driving back home after a 10k Saturday. There was a fire tuck parked just before a radar detector. I was going 10 over and the radar detector did the light flash thing. The the fire truck turned on its light and blared it horns. I thought for sure it was going to come for me but it didn't. That's all to my story.
Kittens were not rescued because of this.
No one likes those smoke-eating, foundation-saving, nozzle-headed, hose-jockeying Puddle Monkeys anyway. Toughest thing they do all day is warm up their lazy-boys and do the 4-man relay via truck to the grocery store.
I straight up hate firemen. They're the cross fitters of the employment world. Every where they go they are always decked out in a firefighter shirt or hat or patch. Hang out at the bars all the time thinking they can pull birds just by sporting the shirt even though they're overweight and ugly. Always have hated them.
Just last week I got pulled over by a firetruck for speeding. He issued a citation. Is this a new thing?

Nope. Just hate them. And of course that's a generalization. I hate the ones who can't go more than 5 seconds without telling you they are a fireman or can't go out in public without a piece of firefighter memorabilia.
Cops and firemen hate each other although cut from the same cloth.that of a-holes.
Volunteer fireman equals potential arsonist, to get those call out dollars.
Worst is NYC where everyone of them in bars seats their emblems and claims they were first responders on 9-11 although asleep on Staten Island passed out drunk.

Don't paint with too broad a brush. I'm actually a pretty nice guy. Then again I spent most of my career working in the schools and as a juvenile aid officer (which is what they do with "nice" cops - they don't put you on the SWAT team). I know plenty of cops who are equally nice, even after many years doing a thankless, frustrating job. Same goes for firemen, who I love to make fun of for sleeping all night while getting paid, but in reality, when they do work, they do things I wouldn't think of doing. Cops and firemen don't hate each other, although their is a definite (usually friendly) rivalry. Key word: usually. There are bad apples in all professions. There are bad priests, bad scout leaders and even bad runners. Do public service jobs tend to draw a-oles? There is no doubt about it. Lots of cops ire dicks and lots of firemen need big trucks to haul around their egos, but I would caution folks against hating a person simply because of their job. As for firemen pulling over cars, that is news to me. In many areas, including NYC, firemen are what is called peace officers, meaning they have limited arrest powers in certain situations, but aren't cops. They can't write traffic tickets. They shouldn't be making vehicle stops any more than an off-duty cop should. Get a plate, call it in. In fact, if this happens again, I would get a license plate or truck # and make a phone call to the agency the firefighter is with. I would also say be sure the person is a fireman. Police have tactical and operations units that look a lot like fire trucks, and the officers in them are usually dressed in tactical gear, making them look more like firemen, with an array of equipment strapped to their appendages, and less like cops.
Funny, I say the same thing about people from New York, vegetarians, non-glutens, and cross-fitters.
You know how I know you're from New York? You told me 5 times in the three minutes since we met.
They think we're jealous - we're not, we just think you're obnoxious.

Did they break into your car with an ax and spray you with a firehose?
