LAX TWR ATC does not seem too impressed.

Thanks for the audio.

Love the last part of the clip where the emergency vehicle wants to cross 25L... calls short of the wrong intersection (A5 stops south of A, he probably meant G) and calls the wrong tower for the clearance...

"Los Angeles Air Traffic Control Tower request to cross 25L and 25R at A5"

"Sir, you're on the wrong tower frequency..."
