Unexpected Elements

They do not allow those who test slower than half a second to drive equipment en route to a fire.

Unexpected Elements
Celebrating Science on Africa Day

OK, so you've basically got to be lightning fast in your reaction times when it comes to being the person who drives the fire engine.

Unexpected Elements

So who out of us would be the driver?

Unexpected Elements

I'm a fast driver.
