If you could do/could have done one thing different in the fire service what would it have been and why?
Just trying to pull a little interesting tidbits from people to hopefully help others, I'll start with mine.
1. Drove too fast going down a side street where kids usually play because it was night so I figured that it'd be okay. The adrenaline got to me for a dwelling. Nothing happened but I got a reaming for it, and rightfully so.
2. I heard from a senior member that per the NJ Motor Vehicle Code that first responders with blue lights can proceed through a stop light once all traffic has stopped and yielded you the right of way. I was also corrected on this, and since unplug my blue light and red lights.
Suffice it to say, my driving has been tamed with a little advisement haha. But its good that I learned the things not to do and no one got injured.
Hope to hear more tidbits, and Happy and Safe New Years to everyone! Stay Safe.
