SLOW DOWN/MOVE OVER A message from Chief Fite on the importance of the Blocker Program and a recent incident where a driver struck the tail of Scorpion 3 on Highway I-30. Thankfully, the Scorpion tail absorbed the impact protecting the crew and the driver of the vehicle. Remember to slow down or move over when you see flashing lights or roadside workers. It’s not just the law – it saves lives. #slowdownmoveover #firefighting #firedepartment | Grand Prairie Fire Department
