The job of Fire Police is to protect firefighters from the dangers of public intrusion into an emergency scene. People who drive into an emergency scene may collide with a fire engine, or worse, a firefighter. Even pedestrians on an emergency scene may hamper firefighters' work. Fire Police also protect the public from the dangers of emergency scenes by controlling crowds near scenes, and they do their best to provide the most convenient detour for traffic when roads are closed.
Why I Joined Fire/EMS
Fire Police are volunteer members of a fire department who provide police services at a fire, accident or other emergency scene, or at a non-emergency event when additional manpower is needed to supplement local police. These services may include traffic control, crowd control, scene security and other duties as needed.
