investigators say the man must have known something about fire trucks.

“He had to have known how to release the air brakes on the truck and know something about how to drive a fire engine”, said Chief Bertrand who was notified of the crash while sleeping at home this morning.

Like the big yellow button that has "AIR BRAKES" push to release and the little box that has "R N D123" "D" for drive........ mmmmmmm YEP THE YOUNG MANS A ROCKET SCIENTIST :rolleyes:
