From: Personal Veichles to the Scene

[JetPhoto 626]

one of my biggest pet peves is having personal veichles at the scene of an fire or EMS calls, I have a hard time trying to get this across to many of the members of our department as to why this is such a bad idea, now we all know the dangers in, but can anyone tell me any stories of why personal veichles at the scene was a hinderance.

My department's (fire / ems) allows volunteer's to go to the scene. On the fire side one large reason is our commissioners don't feel we don't need anything more than a 2 man cab. We have instructed our firefighters to use thier heads when parking and to park as far off the road and away from the scene as possible.

On the EMS side, an EMT is allowed to meet the bus on the scene if they are not already in the building.
