Fire Activity

As some of you may be aware, in my spare time i am not just a volunteer for law enforcement... I also happen to be a volunteer firefighter, which brings a whole new set of frustrations and difficulties.
While on a call of a vehicle that had flipped on the road, i pulled the short straw and got stuck on traffic detail  as the state troopers got cozy in their vehicles. It is STUNNING to me how drivers see at least five flares, and a fire engine, an ambulance, several state troopers and a tow truck all with their lights on and blocking the entire road on top of which a firefighter in reflective bunker gear and waving a flashlight to signal them that the road is closed (me) they still roll up and say "hey can i get through here?" as if we are just gonna move our vehicles out of the way, or that because he asked suddenly the road will widen enough for him to fit his vehicle by...
*sigh* sometimes i just can't understand what people are thinking.
