Yes, friends of ours moved from Manchester to Corwall at the time Beko fridge-freezers came to prominence. Within a couple of months their FF caused the house to be gutted, destroyed all their possessions and killed their dog - luckily they were all okay.

That doesn't cut it. What's needed is a law that permits a) a vehicle to be damaged (eg rammed out the way) b) no liability for doing it. Until those are there, almost no firefighter wold want to bankrupt themselves to save lives by doing this.
