Mick, that reminds me of my first sighting of a fire truck as a kid.
Dads driving along going up a hill, next thing he starts to run off the road onto the nature strip, although it was a country road, so really just more road. I panicked and yelled at him thinking there was something wrong like he was falling asleep or something.
He says it's ok, and next thing this fire truck passes us :D. First lesson in giving way to emergency service " rights".
