      The bumpers on American fire engines are huge, and built to push cars right out of the way.

      Similar to how they like to smash both windows and run hoses through cars parked in front of hydrants.

        Anybody who thinks this is a joke: It is not. Most firefighters are retired military given weird fucking tools and a penchant to use them on anything. If they are legally allowed to smash your fucking windows, they will. They will use the Jaws of Life to tear your fucking car apart if they have to. Just imagine them like the police but the inability to kill people who don’t (or, ya know, do) listen to them, with the same overzealousness, hero complex, and everything, but more respectable because they actually do serve and protect.
