No doubt if one of the little prats had been caught by the rotors they would have demanded immediate medical attention

It would probably have removed their heads, not that it sounds like there was a a lot in there to worry about. I think this is one trend where new laws would be required - "hindering emergency service personnel" for example. It's presumably a specific offence* to obstruct a policeman when he's working, so why not a fireman or ambulanceman?
Interesting article making that point. Very enlightening.

*I've checked it and it is - section 89(2) of the Police Act 1996 - "Any person who resists or wilfully obstructs a police constable in the execution of his duty or a person assisting him shall be guilty of an offence". Only carries a maximum sentence of 1 month in jail, though.
