Police/fire escort?

yesterday i saw a police ■■■■■■ consisting of 2 cars and a fire engine all with their blues on. the vehicle being escorted appeared to be a 20 ft container or something similiar. i couldnt see it very well due to trees. since when do the fire brigade attach themselves to a police ■■■■■■?

the other day i witnessed an ambulance being escorted by around 6 police bikes :confused:

Fire service would accompany a police ■■■■■■ if requested to do so by the police in the event of what ever it is being escorted being a danger to the public…who knows what that danger may be…possibly an unstable mixed load of chemicals arriving from abroad and the police want it out of the way!!! Something like that.

As for the ambulance and outriders…That, I imagine, would be one very ill person in need of immediate hospital care…its not that uncommon after a very bad RTC (RTA) and a person or persons has sustained life threatening injuries.

When my sis was born she was transfered from the Local hospital (in Ashford) to GOSH, she had a police ■■■■■■ for that, they run ahead of the ambulance and close junctions and clear traffic so the ambulance gets a clear run.

Witht the fire brigade escorting a load, it may well just have something iffy in the back that they wanted to move somewhere more safe. Or the police and fire could have been going to an emergency with an Irish lorry following along at it’s normal crusing speed :laughing:

where did you see them if it was in berkshire probably nuclear material.

for aldermaston or burghfield and i live inbetween them :smiley: :smiley:

they were causing congestion on the A40 heading into London. i think they pulled off a couple of junctions before the A312. i was quite a bit back so i couldnt see clearly. pretty much the top of the fire engine and some box shaped vehicle or load in front of it (obscured by trees). the front police car was pulling onto the main road as i passed under the flyover

you sure it wasn’t NSH being escorted so he didn’t jonah anything else :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

That would explain the two heads then, Neil■■? :unamused:

Ambulances get police escorts usually for spinal injuries to smooth the ride out they close junctions off ahead and genrally move traffic so the vehicle gets a stright(ish) run.

Where you live Neil, Nuclear waste is the least of your worries!!! The whole area was just one big landfill site in pre victorian times - before records began and when anything could be dumped legally :exclamation: :exclamation: :exclamation:

Oi! Damned Southerners. :smiling_imp:

At least we ‘deal’ with our refuge. Not have it shipped out by barge to be dumped on the North Sea.

I have to confess it was me (the ambulance that was with us got called away to an RTA)

The government has cottoned on to the Jonah effect and they now provide me with :-

2 police vehicles
1 ambulance
1 Fire appliance
1 recovery vehicle
1 sea king air sea rescue chopper

At all times because of the risk of an incident occuring within my vicinity.

They’ve done a risk assesment and they come to the conclusion that if all the circumstances come together simaltaneously ie being in a certain place at a certain time (cant give specifics due to the Offcial Secrets Act) that the whole UK haulage industry could breakdown in the same week causing the country’s economy to collapse.

We would then move from being the 5th richest nation in the world to being a third world country & due to our North Sea Oil Industry a target for the USA to send in a “peace keeping” force after they had made a “regime change to a more democratic state”
