a lesson from ryan reynolds

"that's the thing about fire trucks...you need some sort of warning that they're coming...?!?!"

back before ryan reynolds was known for being jacked and extremely sarcastic, he was on a show called "two guys and a girl". after his roommate almost got hit by a fire truck, he said this line to him.

but unfortunately, a st pete man didn't get such a warning, and the results were disastrous. firefighters were dispatched to treat a bleeding man who was listed as "nearby." the firefighters suited up, took off from the station...and hit the man. it would appear that "nearby" was 2-3 feet from the station, in front of the doors.

police spokesman bill proffitt said that the victim may have been lying so close to the doors that he was out of sight of those on the engine. the victim was airlifted to bayfront medical center, where he seems to have made it all the way in and treated safely.

so hooray for fast firefighter follies, and HOORAY FLORIDA!
