Reckless

To the editor, On Sunday, Oct. 9, at 10:45 a.m. while driving on County Route One, I was traveling up the hill toward Warwick, approaching the intersection of Foley Road. Two cars were traveling down the hill, side-by-side, in my direction, the one straddling the double line with blue lights flashing. Having no place to go due to a guardrail to my right, I slammed on my brakes. The oncoming car being passed by the volunteer firelighter must have done the same as somehow he miraculously made it between us. Is this within the bounds of standard policy while answering an emergency call? Reckless behavior and a disregard for the rules of the road could result in injury or death. Sincerely, Alan G. House Sr. Warwick
