Anyway, the local police made a visit to the fire department and told all the volunteer fire fighters that if they were responding to a fire and were speeding they would get the same treatment as everyone else, i.e. a street racing charge.

The fire chief said, OK, that's fine, but told the officer that if they get any calls to a police officer's house they won't break the speed limit by 1 km.
I'd be surprised if a fire truck could go over the speed limit by 50km/hr. Those things are massive and weigh a ton.
