This story/incident is almost 3rys old, but after commenting on another thread, I was asked to create a new thread of this incident to see people's thoughts.
There was a car accident on the freeway and Chula Vista Fire Department and an ambulance responded. The Engineer parked the fire engine behind the ambulance, to protect the crew in the lane of traffic. A CHP officer asked him to move it and he refused to, citing his protocol to leave the engine there to protect the crew. Long story short, the officer arrested the firefighter and he was release 30 minutes late.
