" TO:ems- Seems you are a little mad because you didn't get your blue light fired up and yell over the EMS channel or Fire channel. You weren't called because you weren't needed. SORRY maybe next time you'll be needed.... "

" It's a good thing nobody was injured, the Lexington Fire Department and Ambulance never even got called!!!!!!!!!!! Nobody even knew about until B104 had it on the news this morning. We get called for overheated cars, but not when a train hits a truck. "

" Omg, why leave a truck on the tracks like that. Get a buddy or police to move it out of the way for crying out loud! "
