@St_Rev@Meaningness nitpick: good, quantitative risk assessment weighs heavily against the literal speeding fire engine -
@St_Rev@Meaningness but, key there is that getting there a little bit faster doesn't significantly improve odds of success at the scene -
@St_Rev@Meaningness so the risk variables of driving an emergency vehicle aren't as different from ordinary driving as intuitively assumed -
@schakalsynthetc Thinking of scenario a) there is an actual burning building b) traffic stop of the "berate driver for an hour" kind -
@St_Rev yep. realistically if there's any yelling to do, it can wait until well after they're off the scene -
@St_Rev disclosure: my dad managed a small-city ambulance service so I'm unusually sensitized to the fact that emergency service providers > -
@St_Rev < also have lawyers and insurance carriers to answer to -
@St_Rev nightmare scenario is ppl dying while the fire truck is lying on its side several blocks away bc some dingus cornered too fast
