This morning, Alvaton units were dispatched to multiple vehicle accidents around the 19mm of I65, both northbound and southbound. Following standard protocols, apparatus were positioned to block the accidents for the safety of crews working, cones were placed, and additional apparatus were positioned to block or provide advanced warning of the scene ahead. A total of 7 apparatus responded to these incidents.
With all this, firefighters still had several close calls with vehicles running over cones, sliding to
a stop, or almost hitting apparatus or firefighters. It is imperative that the traveling public understand that it is state law to slow down and/or move over when approaching stopped emergency vehicles. Furthermore, when the roads are wet, rain is falling, or visibility is low, vehicles should be driving at a slower speed and higher awareness level. While everyone may have somewhere to be, our firefighters have to make it home when the call is over.
