I was witness to a near tragic event on friday night!!! An Elwood firefighter in a black truck came speeding through the school zone!!
This Person passed a vehicle that was trying to turn left into the school Last time i checked that is a no passing zone!!!
There were people pulling their kids out of the way to safety !!!
Whoever was driving that truck was traveling about 60 to 70 miles per hour in the school zone while people and children were present (on the wrong side of the road to boot)
Remember having blue lights does not give you the right to break the traffic laws!!!
I understand that he was going to a fire but last time i checked pickup trucks can not put out fires.
And what would the Elwood fire company tell a family of a child who got ran over by this maniac!!!!

I would suggest that you send or take this letter to the Chief of Police and the Chief of Elwood Fire Dept.. They might hold a meeting to discuss safety issues when traveling to an emergency.
Thank you for alerting us on this dangerous practice.
It seems that luck or a miracle helped avoid a terrible tragedy.
listen here people..if that was your house on fire i doubt you would be compaining. do you people always need something to complain about? these guys volunteer the time, effort, and even money for the people of your town and you have bad talk them..are you serious? the only people that complain are the ones that either have never needed their services or do not volunteer. i have sat around and watched you people bad talk our volunteers for too long. you people need to support them, the point of lights and sirens are to warn people, that is why they were getting out of the way, not because they were scarred for their lives..and who ever the hell called it a dangerous practice..your an idiot..so your saying going to stop a fire is a dangerous practice? how about all you people who speed through that school zone when your not on a fire call? you people need to shut the hell up and support your volunteers.
AAAAAMEN !
