Funny that you have this picture Phil. I was working Christmas Eve, around 1 am we were all, ummm, studying up in the bunkroom when we heard a VERY LOUD bang. The housewatchman hits three bells (meaning everyone goes) and gets on the intercom and announces "I think a truck just hit the firehouse". We go running outside to see a van that had plowed into the dumpster that you see parked behind the NYPD Command vehicle, and had pushed the dumpster into the back of the command vehicle doing ALOT of damage to the rear of it. Behind the large green dumpster were two smaller dumpsters that literally got launched into the firehouse, knocking off a considerable amount of brick from the side of the building. Me, being the first one out the door saw the van and immediately thought that the driver was probably dead, being how smashed up the van was. We saw some movement as we were approaching and found the driver, dazed, but concious and trying to start the van to take off again. After asking him if he was alright (he had a good amount of blood gushing from his face) he tried explaining to us (more like slurring) that he was just trying to go to work. I told him that he wasn't going anywhere and to get out of the van.
Needless to say, he spent Christmas day in the hospital, then jail. <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/doh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
