Question

Why do you block so many lanes at traffic accidents?

Answer

It’s for the safety of our personnel and the patients we are treating. Unfortunately many of today’s drivers are distracted and not watching the road and nearby surroundings. Blocking extra lanes keeps a buffer between traffic that is still moving, the vehicles involved in the accident, and our firefighters. One of the most dangerous places for our members to be is out on the highway when vehicles don’t slow down or move over.
