We had a 2 car PI accident last week and it was at a very tricky intersection. The intersection is a 4 way stop and is in a bowl style shape with the intersection in the bottom of the bowl. The roads were pure ice too. We had a firefighter of 4 years respond in his POV and came up over the hill, towards the intersection and could not stop. Instead of plowing through everyone he took the ditch and rolled his truck over onto the top of his roof (totalling his truck). Everyone else was able to stop at some point and time but we all know what type of intersection it is.

My question to you is what would you do, if this was one of your firefighters? As in what type of actions if any would you take with this firefighter.

OK so if I get in an accident a kill someone, that is called an vehicular homicide isn't it? Seems to have some guilt or fault associated with it. Otherwise if we said it was just an accident, nobody would be held acountable for driving too fast, driving under the influence, driving with bad tires, no brakes, whatever, etc. Those are called EXCUSES.

People throw the "accident" term around way too much. Honey, it was an accident? It just happened? I didn't mean to cheat on you... accident??? thats crap.


POV or apparatus, when someone makes a mistake bad things happen
A little prevention goes a long way. When the weather gets bad we remind our people to watch how they drive and use extra caution on snow and ice. Besides our people don't respond to the scene, so he'd get ripped a new a$$!
