Firefighters Staged Their Engine at an Angle to Shield Them from Accidents

Quote:
The semi driver goes over the crest in the highway and noticed the accident too late, hit the brakes, and sent himself into an uncontrollable jack knife slide into the first responders.

Despite being rattled, there were no major emergency personnel injuries.

The staging of the fire engine seemed critical in the safety of the firefighters.

You can see from the video, if the fire engine was parallel to the center divider it would have shot the apparatus into the rescuers and potential occupants of the original accident.

I always remember what my father said to me whenever he commented on accidents he saw at work..He was a Paramedic
"Too fast for the road conditions.."
