My Chief from San Clemente fire had a firefighter in the jumpseat when he was a captain for Newport Beach fire (ritzzy area) the firefighter came from Philly. When cars were following too close on code 3 runs he would start chucking d cell batteries at the cars . The captain told he couldn't do that here. Great story
