Joyride Boise Style

Two employees have been fired from the city’s ice skating rink after making a midnight fast-food run — in a pair of Zambonis.

The ice-groomer jockeys had to negotiate at least one intersection with a traffic light on their late-night creep from Idaho Ice World. The rubber-tired vehicles, whose top speed is about 5 mph, drove about 1 1/2 miles in all, said Parks Department Director Jim Hall.

“They were fired immediately,” Hall said. “We’re pretty sure it was just the one time. When we interviewed them, they didn’t seem to be too concerned about it. I don’t think they understood the seriousness of it.”
