I don't know about the Fire Brigade, but when I lived in Bedford I was waiting for an ambulance to take my Dad into A&E after he fell. When the crew finally arrived, they apologised and explained they had to fill up with fuel at Tesco because the previous crew went off shift and left the tank almost empty. Seeing ambulances at Tesco filling stations was a regular event in Bedford.
