I dunno about Britt, but MINE would be;

"Engine 4 to dispatch, on scene, nothing found. Terminating command, returning to quarters in service. Notify the highway department that they DO have a rather large pothole that needs their attention."

Of course, that also might be why I'm not on active duty anymore.

Looks a lot like one of my P=E lectures. Just in the wrong place.
Imagine a bit of C-4 and laquer thinner

I think there was 10 people injured I don't know about anyone else but when the driver of a big rig is running away from his truck yelling "get away from the truck it has explosives in it" I am going to be right behind him.

my route is now a little blocked.
All routes around the blocked road take you 2-3 hours out of your way.
I guess I'll have to find a different place to go camping.

That must be one BIG hole if your Tank.. err , i mean truck won't go across it...

Like the EOD guys with the shirts that say
"If you see me running, Try to keep up"

That just rocks. I had a HDT call out and having them tell me over the HT to take cover was funny as hell. I put the engine and wheels of the unit in between me and them and all was good. Good look on peoples faces when I did it.

You can tell people all day long to stay back and all they do is try to get closer. Lay on the ground near a wheel after getting radio traffic they can't hear and the reaction is IMMEDIATE!. True comedy.

UDOT has been working around the clock and will have the road repaired by 6AM, Friday. They're still trying to figure out what set the explosives off as they normally need a pre-detonator and aren't that easy to set off. The driver is going to get a speeding ticket.
