Weird anecdote...just be fore I left Gagetown, I was in Fredericton and driving back home from my gf to do my final clean out of my house. We were taking a long time getting though a light...finall get to the intersection and see someone having a nap in the crosswalk...with a car nearby with a started windscreen.
I pulled over, got my emergency kit out and went to work looking after the lady that got smacked. Ambulance and Fire arrived almost simultaneously - however the ambulance was waved over and turned out they were from a different county going back home. We co-managed the lady, got her into the ambulance and off they went lights and siren to the hospital about 6 blocks away. While I'm talking to the police a couple minutes later, the city ambulance that was parked across the street (that likely had the original call), went tearing out lights/sirens heading that same direction.
I came to find out later in the paper that this lady's ambulance was going through an intersection a block from the hospital, with the green light in favour, lit and noisy, and got TBoned by some shithead that thought the intersection was cleared for him

and knocked the vehicle clean over on its side...with the 2 paramedics, ICU nurse and patient inside. The city EMS crew I saw tearing out across the street were going to help their colleagues.
Found out that my old boss was working in the ER when they were all brought in - she was doing pre-deployment training/retraining in critical care so I heard a bit more about stuff after the fact - everyone lived, but the lady that was hurt the first time needed to go to the trauma unit in St John.
