After Hockey’s recent thread, I was wondering if any of you have any stories regarding passerby’s, family, or friends interjecting themselves (in an inappropriate fashion) into a scene? They can be about whackers on scene (I’m a lifeguard, and you should do this…) or just people who want to see what’s going on that get in the way or well meaning family and friends that feel helpless and don’t understand the need to let you do your job… but I really like the rubbernecker stories about people who jump into the scene and start asking FFs, Medics, and LEOs questions about what is going on.
Right now, about 800 FFs are fighting a 700 acre fire 10 miles north of my place, and despite the deputies shutting down all the forest roads, people are still finding their way into the fire lines to check it out. We have all had those in EMS… how did you handle specific instances of that?
