From what I hear it was only a minor incedent, as the fire truck was doing a right hand turn on to another road a car passed on the right and the car behind that one passed them on the left.  :?

What I was told was Fire truck was turning right on to another road, 1st car behind fire truck overtook on right hand side to pass the fire truck, 2nd car behind fire truck over took or passed the truck on the left hand side.

Classic CFS_Firey and there was probably a solid white line there too so the car overtaking on the right would be in the wrong. :wink:
