What an idiot driver!.

X2 Kris, even though we are wowed by it and can see the humorous side to it, concequences could of been much more severe, never the less it was great footage for viewers.

Great video, hope the driver and crew won´t get yelled at for it. This shows how a true rescue crew is willing to put it self on the line for the fellow man, assuming it was a rescue mission.
The water looks quite still so I´m guessing the only trouble he could have gotten into is the road being washed out or the water going over the cab and the crew would have to swim to dry land.

Patch,
I agree with your comments. These folks do an extraordinary job under some the most intense scrutiny from their peers and the public. Yes risk aversion is an absolute must for all emergency service personnel. But as has been said above, sometimes these folks are no more human that you, I and the rest of society and they do make errors in judgement.
Not knowing all of the facts surrounding the incident I cannot and will not comment on whether it was the right or wrong thing to do. Obviously the driver thought it was safe to cross at the time. Credit to them and the training that has been bestowed upon them to enable him/ her to safely negotiate the crossing.
It never ceases to amaze me that in this day and age we are quicker to grab our mobile phones and that a photo or video of something instead of providing genuine assistance like ringing triple 0 or rendering first aid to someone. I just don't get it...
