Magic of the movies (6): Dealing with emergencies

Now car crashes happen, and they happen pretty much everywhere with a varying degree of regularity, largely dependent on the number of vehicles on the road, the road conditions and the level of skill and experience of the drivers. They seem to be happening a lot in the part of Glasgow that is Philadelphia these days, I suppose those zombies must be quite distracting for the drivers.

But on a practical level, when cars get mashed, who do you call to get the people out and get things sorted. Well the Fire Brigade of course, or the Fire Department. In this case they didn't call the Fire Brigade, represented in the Philly that isn't (and so comes under UK health and safety regulations) by Pinewood Studios own fire appliance (one of many I'm sure), but they went for their own Fire Department medic truck. However, they did come up against a small problem - it doesn't seem to actually drive. This means that moving it requires either the services of a handy JCB or a group of tough guys with muscles. I can see certain difficulties with this in the long term, but they seemed to be coming admirably this evening!
