About two years ago I was on the way to fight a huge grass fire that was threatening to destroy a small village 11 miles west of our major town(2500population).
We were running in line with several other "ranch rigs" as they are called around here(local VFD depends on help from us), about 80mph with our hazzard lights flashing.
Word had been going out over the local radio station to stay off the highway and let the firefighters get to the fire.
Well, a half mile ahead of us was a gawker in a late model Lincoln....as we closed in he pulled off to the right shoulder, I assumed to let us by....nope....without even looking he pulled a u-turn on the highway. I had 300 gallons of water in the sprayer making quick lane changes a bit risky but I whipped into the left lane just in time....felt the right rear of the pickup box graze the front of his car...didn't stop, he wasn't there after we got the fire out, so I'm assuming he was able to drive back to town and clean his shorts....maybe order a new front bumper....hopefully next time there's a fire he'll be telling his buddys to just stay in town.
