Fire Chief Ticketed While Doing His Job

[mrjarrell]

Power goes to some peoples heads and chokes of what intelligence might be there. Here we have a fire chief doing what he's paid to do and a trooper who decides that he is "the law". Wonder if he'd have given him a ticket under the same circumstances if the victim were a fellow officer?

I hope that fire chief gets the opportunity to repay that officer his kindness but something tells me his professionalism wouldn't allow it.

NYSP are wound pretty tight. No surprise there.

He could park a Fire truck in the officers front lawn to "test the nearby hydrants". But yeah, he seems like a good guy and wont be doing anything other than fighting the ticket, as he should.

Yeah, troops everwhere seem much more than willing to mess with firefighters/emts than most cops, even when there doesn't seem to be much of a reason to. I personally subscribe to the philosophy of not screwing with the people who will be attempting keep me alive if things go south unless there is a damn good reason and I'm not even a cop. Perhaps I'm just more in touch with my mortality???

That said, the below gave me a hell of a laugh...

I've had my fair share of this type of situation with let say (not so local P.D.) in the past 15 yrs of service in Indy.

The one in that video cost someone, (likely the local tax payers and not the officer) a wad of cash.

ISP? I would be VERY surprised if it was IMPD. We always work well with fire/ems for the most part. State gets really antsy when traffic is shut down. Us, we could care less if that is what is needed to make the scene safe.

Not only is this stupid, but it may also be a violation of the law. The police officer in both these situations appears to be interfering with the firefighters' performance of their duty.

It was a long time ago, and I was pretty green, but my recollection of a multiple fatality accident with entrapment. Trooper A told the fire captain to move the engine truck off the road. The fire captain tried to explain there were tools on the apparatus necessary for them to safely do their job. The fire captain then told trooper B to remove trooper A from his emergency scene until it was released to the police. There were no further problems after that.

I had to take a detour a few weeks ago because our sheriffs blocked off a two lane rd to make it safe for the firemen taking care of someone who ran into a pole. Made my trip a bit longer, but I didn't care. The folks in that accident got taken care of.

Yeah even out here in the sticks we sometimes have that problem with ISP...
It seems almost like the State might just come to screeching halt if the raod is closed for more than 3-5 minutes with some of them...

And that is how you do that...
Officer can you please remove the Officer from MY Scene...

We have a GREAT working relationship with Our Local Sheriffs Dept here. It is not uncommon for the Deputies to Yield Right of Ways to the Volunteers running Blue Lights...

Wow, what a ****ing joke...Chief was helping an injured woman and the PO(S) makes him take the time to give him his license and registration?

That douche bag needs to be fired.



BTW, does anyone know how injured the lady was at the time Officer Barbrady was issuing a citation?

I wonder if the moron also ticketed the tow truck and the ambulance blocking the right lane.
