About two years ago I was on the way to fight a huge grass fire that was threatening to destroy a small village 11 miles west of our major town(2500population).
We were running in line with several other "ranch rigs" as they are called around here(local VFD depends on help from us), about 80mph with our hazzard lights flashing.
