You keep saying you guys are professionals and you know the risks and I'm sure you are/do, but so are the Police officers. They are doing there job! And that job happens to be keeping people behind the yellow tape. What it really comes down to is she broke the law. And maybe the civilians walking in the background got through because the police officer was busy dealing with the PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER.

To me, it looks like they had a great spot right on the street. Then again we only see a very short part of this fire, which I'm shore was a long one. So who knows what happened before...

I have heard the tape and there is no real big argument between the two. All the Firefighter wanted to hear was that the ambulance was on it's way and the dispatcher failed to tell him this at any point in the tape that I heard, even though one had been sent. The dispatcher just kept asking questions and I know they have rules they have to follow, but just mentioning that an ambulance was on the way would have solved the whole problem, I think. I will try to get the recording and post it.
