Who is able to go direct to a call?

I was just wondering on who else can go direct, if we here the trucks are in route we can go direct otherwards we have to swing in and get a truck. Is just my department? The other night i went direct to a mva first on scene!!

Well in my dept we are not allowed to go direct to the call, with the exception of the Chief, Asst chief and Batt chief. I hve responded direct to medical calls when i lived across the bridge on the other side of town before but that was because they were serious calls (CPR in progress, etc) We dont carry any turnout gear with us in our vehicles so going direct to a call would be worthless for the most part. But hey I Bought a house three blocks from the station so i can usually be the first one there now anyway.
