urko Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 This week I've noticed two different sets of Sapeurs in each case driving large Renualt Master vans, all blue lights flashing, but travelling very slowly - when I saw the first lot I assumed it was a particular set of circmustances, but having seen two lots doing the same, I'm wondering if it's a policy of some kind?

Christine Animal Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 It is probably when they are transporting someone who is very ill or injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Very often someone who is dead, therefore there is no need for urgency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val_2 Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 We used to live near to Stoke Mandeville hospital and it was policy with broken backs and necks and such injuries to travel at just a few miles per hour because the state of the roads made injuries worse during transport.

Will Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 ...or they wanted to delay the possibility of either meeting Jimmy Savile or contracting MRSA for as long as they could. (Sorry about the bad taste joke, but mother in law lives near there too, and picked up some serious infections so I know what it's like) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val_2 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Yes Will it has had bad luck recently regarding the dreaded germs HOWEVER, they saved my BIL life when he was on chemo and had life threatening sceptasaemia and also with a lot of his treatment. Don't mention JS, lives on another planet that one and boy is he is scruffy and dirty when we have been in there over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
