Reminds me of something a co-worker said about his brother who lives in the UK. He is a certified organ transplant courier. Very rigorous training from what I understand, and a 007 license to SPEED at will. Hopefully the LA fire fighters are similarly trained and enabled.

Reminds me of the picture someone posted about using their motorcycle to help neighbors clear tree limbs and such from blocked roads after a hurricane or something, by riding around with a chainsaw on the back of their bike. Other countries have been using motorcycles to their advantage for years... It's a shame we've been a little slow on the uptake.
