Re: Forget cars

I guess that's true. Vehicles are specifically mentioned, as is forcing entry (section 44), but

'44(1) An employee of a fire and rescue authority who is authorised

in writing by the authority for the purposes of this section may do

anything he reasonably believes to be necessary.

(a) if he reasonably believes a fire to have broken out or to be about to

break out, for the purpose of extinguishing or preventing the fire or

protecting life or property;'

isn't a specific dispensation for repercussions if they knock down a house - although I can imagine it is likely to swing that way in court.
