Boston Drivers

 This Boston driver thought the light was green ( no light just a stop sign) and narrowly missed some kids on the porch.

  

  In this incident Inspectional Services, Building Inspector, was notified to respond and check the stability of the building. We notified the owner to contact a contractor as the need to shore up the floor might be required. The inspectors arrived and agreed that before the car could be removed, shoring should take place in the basement. The cops, however, were none to happy as they are required to guard the scene.    

  One in particular tried to yell at the Tow Truck driver to remove the car. So, I had to remind him of who's in charge at emergency scenes and asked him do we need a Sergeant to respond ? Turns out it was his turn and being close to relief time he didn't want to get stuck and miss his detail.

   I'm not a Structural Engineer so I try to over do it, my goal and yours should be Life Safety, Incident Stability & Property Conservation. Don't make a decision you can not defend in court. When in doubt call for someone who has the knowledge that can help you.

  As a side note, had a working fire here about 15 years or so ago.
