“Hot stuff coming through…”

This Montreal fire crew wasn’t messing around when it set out to stop a fire in the city’s Old District over the weekend.

Not only did they push two police cars out of the way in one go, they also managed to rip the front bumper off a BMW that was parked near the burning building. We’re sure their brothers in blue weren’t a bit pleased, but needs must and all that…

One police officer even tried to replace the BMW’s bumper, which you have to admit was a pretty decent thing to do, even if it was in vain, seeing as the fire brigade caused the damage in the first place.

Thankfully, Jalopnik reports that the city will pay for the BMW owner’s new bumper, but it just goes to show that if your car is unintentionally blocking a fire truck, it’s going to get shoved… hard.
