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.
