From www.news4jax.com:
Orange County firefighters were caught on camera driving recklessly as they were responding to an emergency, and the Fire Department is apologizing for this behavior.

The Orange County Fire Department said David Jordan and Thomas Veal were caught on the dash cameras of the fire truck driving recklessly, hitting a curb and giving a driver the middle finger.

Jordan, the driver of the fire truck who has been with the Orange County Fire Department for 22 years, was fired on Friday and Veal was demoted.

The firefighters, from the fire station on Amory Court in Winter Park, were responding to an accident where someone was trapped inside a car at about 3 a.m. on May 1.
