Most of the time those +hose jockeys+ are happy to do it, unless it keeps them from running to ANOTHER CALL. Much better to have a fire truck take the lanes than my cruiser and a couple lovely flares. Oh no doubt - but running traffic control on the one lane that's open in bunker gear and we need more hands for patient care is annoying <  >

I'm always amazed at our ability to handle nearly everything on a chaotic scene with 2 guys while the FD rolls out with mutual aid from every surrounding town resulting in upwards of 40 dudes with nothing to do.

The chili was getting cold anyway, might as well roll out full force to the minor crash since there's a little fluid spilt on the shoulder.

In my area a lot of night calls are run by volunteers and they generally don't cross swap training, so once the medics are doing their thing the fire fighters usually are happy to be put to work. If it was a paid fire crew they are all EMT and above and will usually dig in for any MECHANISM OF INJURY.

Excuse me, OFFICER, that's clearly 5.1 gallons, which makes this a hazmat scene. I need you to go behind the tape line 300 feet back there with all the other "civilians."

The last full on HAZMAT scene I worked they gave two of us full suits because they didn't want to deal with it.
