In the course of photographing emergency vehicles and the work of the emergency services over the years there are sometimes some lighter moments. Instead of just listing these unusual photographs, we thought it would be fun for you to come up with the captions! When a few good captions have been received, a new photo will be added. Thanks for sending your captions in!
