Its 2.30pm on a Saturday in August, the pager goes off, you phone in to discover a person is stuck on Ballard. Having grabbed your kit you jump in the car and that's the beginning of the challenge that most of the team face getting to the station. The most important rule is that we drive within the law, we are not exempt of the road traffic act just because we are attending an emergency, as with the fire and lifeboat crews we do have signs for our windows, however its often interesting watching the driver in front of you and seeing how often they look in their mirrors! of course they are not obliged to move over to let us pass but once they see the sign they normally do.
