   Dirty power trip of the worst kind! They are both public servants, the firefighter is right. I have seen loads of videos of further crashes due to people who are driving past looking at the inciddent and subsequently crashing. This police officer is a joke no common sense!!

   Wow, thats the dumbest thing ive seen ever. Does the cop not realize that cars are going 70+ mph not even 10 feet from where they are working?? Firefighters for life!! If you cant handle the heat become a cop.

   actually if the firedepartment is dispatched to the scene injury or not it is the Fire departments seen and ultimatly the lead fire officer whoever that may be controls the scene. and for that cop to pull him away from tending a patient is way over the line… I guess if ya cant stand the heat become a cop. dont worry when seconds count cops are only minutes away.

   I think it’s important to point out that this was a REALLY isolated incident. I can’t speak for everyone but I know our relationship with the police is fantastic, and they are quite happy to have that 40000lb speedbump between them and “incoming.” Now, if the truck had blocked the whole highway… different story but clearly there are enough open lanes left to keep traffic flowing at a reduced rate of speed. Oh well- drive carefully around emerg vehicles!

    Actually, the cop was fined 18,000 dollars. If there is an injury, the FD is in charge until the patient is removed.

    the fire department …
    the fire department instructs operators to place the pumper in a position to provide a safe working area. that police officer must have had a personal vendetta against the fire department, probably because he knows pd cant hold a candle to fd.
