D**kheads !

It's only human to help especially when your line of work is rescue, if I was him I wouldn't even go back to that job if they offered it to me

Unbelievable. This bloke should be given a medal and a pay rise!

I hope some other company comes along and offers him a decent job.

I'd have done the same thing - stuff company policy, this was about saving a life and he did the right thing and can sleep at night!

Was it one of the e-cigs you sold

I don't think the M6 incident would cost that much, all of the staff working for the police and fire brigade and bomb squad would have been paid for their shift even if they just stayed at their base playing pool all day so no extra wages to pay and although a lot of emergency vehicles involved they didn't travel far so not much fuel costs.

Anyway it's good to see them responding like they did, spur of the moment incident and they acted like it had been planned for months.

2 thumbs up to the emergency services
