Near Miss: Apparatus Struck by Vehicle
Here is the second installment of our Near Miss feature. Read this short report on an apparatus that was struck by a vehicle.
I think it is fine that the apparatus was hit. It did some damage, but better the truck than a firefighter.
Discussion:
Does your department position apparatus at a vehicle accident to protect the firefighters at the accident scene?
Do you position the apparatus far enough away from the accident scene?
What other traffic control measures does your department take at an accident scene?
Are those traffic control measures sufficient to ensure a safe working environment?
