For us, both firefighters and the sheriffs do traffic control. It really just depends on available personnel.

Rookie!!! I've gotten that job so many times. If PD is on scene then the Rookie gets company while doing Traffic control.

One must be very careful about knowingly putting juniors in a hazardous environment. As a matter of fact, I strongly suggest thorough knowledge of the child labor laws before allowing anyone under legal age to be involved in any hazardous environment. The liability and consequences can be extremely expensive.

Many times we are on our own with traffic, at least for the first few minutes after setting up at a scene or stabilizing a patient or whatever. We usually use an engine to block the lane we're working in. Recently, though, we had a truck lose its load on the highway and we routed traffic around the mess until it could be cleaned up. We were better equipped than the LEO's with cones and wands and vests, etc. It took about six of us and four officers. That was an exception to the usual road scenario.

Most of the time, we are in charge of traffic and our county sherriff's office usually doesnt' supply any kind of assisstance unless its a big incident, but as a whole we take care of it pretty well.

More often than not, we (the fire department) do traffic control.
