This, clearly was an error of ATC But the fire truck driver SHOULD have looked
both ways up/down runway as well as slightly upwards in both directions before
entering the runway.

This procedure applies to all pilots and ground vehicles.
OK It did when I used a such to cross runways or in fact even on taxi ways.

Totally lax procedures at this airport and the administration and the FAA must
take responsibility for it - but they no doubt will be trying to pass the 
buck.
