While most of the time, the firefighters come to your house when you’re in need of assistance, they’ve unveiled a new drive-through service in McMinnville, Oregon. Basically, when you’re on fire, they’ll come to you or you can come to them! Craig Brown was their first customer. When his pick-up truck’s engine caught on fire, rather than pulling over and freaking out (like I would), he just drove to the fire station to get the flames extinguished.
Way to cut out the middleman, Craig!
In a way, Craig got lucky because firefighters were already there, rather than out fighting some other fire. He was doubly lucky, because two of them were outside the building washing an ambulance when he pulled up, vehicle smoking from beneath the hood. The two firefighters merely turned the hose on his truck and blasted away the flames.
