Is it commonplace to use an ATV instead of a vehicle to drive between two incidents, and on the highway? It sure does not appear to be a good judgement call on the part of the firefighter. I wonder if the safety officer addressed ATV usage at the briefing? Something warning everyone that off road ATV's were being used on the incident, and on public roads.
