I read in the Liverpool Echo the following head line FIREFIGHER ARREST IN 999 DEATH PROBE By SAM LISTER

A firefighter has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after a crash on a 999 call.
All my responses only apply to England and Wales and they are an overview of the subject, hopefully it will point you in the right direction and always treat with caution.

To be fair to those involved, I think it best that we all avoid any speculation about this matter.  Any such posts will be deleted.

Without making comment on the particulat cause of the incident, it's interesting to note that it's one of McGuirks new 'Fire Vans' that seems to have been involved. I wonder if this type of vehicle was properly trialed, or in the usual McGuirk fashion imposed with no choice?

London member should really study and think before putting finger to keyboard.  The brigade involved is MERSEYSIDE,  not CHESHIRE FIRE & RESCUE.  I'm sure he has a valid point about imposition rather than consultation but it is totally lost in this instance.
