Emergency Vehicle Driving - It's Not a Sports Car!
Part of the mystique of emergency responders is driving bright shiny fire trucks and ambulances as fast as we can to get to those in need.

This program addresses two of the most dangerous aspects of emergency vehicle driving, intersections and high traffic areas where crews are working.

Using computer animations, videos and his own experiences Krause delivers in his typical lively, informative and entertaining fashion a lesson on how to stay alive. Buckle your seat belt and come on in for the ride of your life. You’ll get a chance to see first hand some really stupid drivers of emergency vehicles. Together we can learn how to drive to survive.
