Tony, the last 10 years I worked I drove a Battalion Chief and he was in our district. I saw him every shift, and helped him pick out his bass boat.
As CJB and other public safety guys can attest to, drivers get hypnotized at wreck scenes, and often drive straight into the flashing lights. What pisses me off about this is that a lot of people drive to fast on the ice, follow to close to other cars on the ice, and hit the brakes to much on the ice.
It's hard for civilians to understand, but if a building collapses on a fireman, or a flash over occurs, then that's just a risk we took. This was needless.
