HAVE YOU NOTICED ANYTHING DIFFERENT IN FRONT OF THE HWY 108 FIRE STATION???

Or should I ask:  have you noticed anything missing?

Last Monday, the 10th, a pickup truck, with travel trailer attached, was gassing up at Zak's.  The driver went inside to pay.  The truck left the pumps...............

...........and traveled down the left shoulder of 108, past the parking area alongside the fire station missing the parked vehicles, into the apparatus parking and staging area AFTER DRIVING THROUGH THE BULLETIN BOARD AND SMASHING IT TO SMITHEREENS:

........on through the area in front of the bays heading right toward the trucks until the grade in the tarmac changed the truck's trajectory, pointing it toward the lower driveway exit ready to get back onto 108 heading downhill--or directly across the highway.

Mind you, there are parents waiting across the highway to meet the school bus and their children.

Into action jumps firefighter Steve White, who along with firefighter Jeff Santi, was distracted from his work inside the bays, heard unusual noise and looked out from the bays in total amazement.  Steve chased the truck, and on his second attempt, safely jumped into the open driver's door and finally brought the truck and trailer to a halt in front of KELLY'S KITCHEN!

So, what's different in the fire station 'front yard'?  No bulletin board.  Lady Luck was sitting in that truck, ensuring that no vehicles or people were harmed during this adventure.
