People are assholes sometimes when you’re trying to get an engine through, but that engineer is 100% in the wrong. He should have backed up just enough to give himself enough room in the front.
Come on, the guy crossed a double yellow and didn't pull to the right for an emergency vehicle, however the engineer should not have inched forward and yes he could have backed up but the guy in the car could have and should have as well.

He should've rammed the fucker off the road, hooked a strap up and dragged the guys car to the scene with them 😇.

From the looks of it he must’ve got a Dash cam and decided to start a YouTube page a couple of months ago. Must be trying to get a viral video. What a fucking idiot!

Unfortunately, it most likely will boil down to who hit who. Clearly if this is the case the Engineer of the fire truck would be at fault for the accident. The driver of the other vehicle most likely would be cited for crossing over the double yellow and obstruction of an emergency vehicle? If a person died because of a delayed response the charges may be much worse! All just my opinion o_O

Would have been karma if the car drivers house was the one on fire.
Kinda like that.

We were moving up to Malibu when we popped a call in Malibu.

While responding through the canyon, traffic usually pulls to the right and stops on both sides so we can slightly straddle the centerline and proceed on, there are some areas that a car can get off the road as well.

This time a guy just wouldn't pull over even with us yelling on the PA, he even drove past the areas wide enough for him to pull over. When we finally got down to Pepperdine he pulled over and stopped.

Took about another 7-8 minutes to get onscene, we got the patient packaged up and were wheeling her to the ambulance and here comes dumbass that wouldn't pull over, it was the patients husband.

Maybe he knew that? 🤷

So never wonder why most LEOS dislike people.

As an engineer, there’s now way I’d ever do what that engineer did. People are crazy.
Definitely agree with you on this. However my thoughts are that the Captain sitting shotgun was giving the order push the dumbshit.
