As a recently retired professional FF with 34 year's service, and a former driving instructor, the fault goes both ways here. The car driver was obviously not using their mirrors, and the apparatus driver swerved left, not expecting a left turn, UNLESS, the car driver used their turn signal. When I used to drive fire trucks, if we got a report of a fire or a person not breathing, I didn't drive as if I was going to visit Gramma. I busted my a$$ to get over there ASAP, just like the driver in this video. But I was always taught as a truck & bus driver, if a vehicle suddenly crossed your path, DON'T SWERVE! Hit the brakes, steer straight, and take out the car.

I would say blame is on both parts. SUV didn't even come to a full stop at the stop sign, but the engine shoulda been slowing down to clear the intersection. So much for "due regard." When I was in the fire service, they always told us, "if you can't drive the apparatus to the scene safely, don't drive it at all."

And the speed limit is 30 MPH, which means they were doing anywhere from the speed limit to the max allowed in most jurisdictions, which is 10 over. Meaning they were not driving with reckless abandon making this the SUV drivers fault for not obeying the law and moving to the right to be clear of the engine, most likely because they were not paying attention or are too self-absorbed to care.

@@Stargazzer811nope, the engine driver is 100% at fault. When responding lights and sirens we need to give the public time to hear us, see us and then react to our presence, we have to assume they’re going to do something unexpected in front of us. Yes it might cost 10-15 seconds, but losing that 10-15 seconds is definitely better than the rig not getting to the call at all, not to mention possibly killing anyone on the sidewalk or in that building.

@Jimmythefish577 there's a difference between factual and legal responsibility. Factually both the engineer and the driver of the SUV share fault. Legally, however, the SUV driver is at fault. While operating an emergency vehicle you have to drive with "due regard" which I believe they were. It would be unreasonable for them for them not to pass other vehicles when running code because a driver might do something like this. It is on the other drivers on the road to pull to yield and pull to the right. That's why if someone does not do that they can be cited for "failure to yield to an emergency vehicle" since they are required to do so.

While we cannot be sure exactly what speed the engine was going, we can safely say they were going a minimum of the speed limit. South Long Beach road has a speed limit of 30 MPH (a speed limit sign is approx. 1 block down from where this crash happened), so the engine was doing at least that, and at most 10 over which is what most jurisdictions allow for any emergency vehicle. The white SUV had no turn signal on and was not moving over to allow the engine to pass, which is failure to yield to an emergency vehicle under the law. Additionally the driver of the SUV was probably not paying attention due to a cellphone or simply being too self-absorbed to care (pretty common anymore honestly). The only issue I see here is that the engineer swerved left instead of right. Going right would have clipped the rear of the SUV and spun it, but ultimately everyone would be ok. Instead the engine is gonna be out for 6 months to have its entire front end repaired, provided the frame isn't bent. If the frame is bent, that engine company is gonna be running a spare for a few years, because it'll take that long for the brand new replacement to come in unless they buy a used engine off another company on Long Island.

Coming back from a medical call the rear-mount ladder truck (Ladder 26) lost it's brakes and careened into a day care center. I once lived on that street (Parker Hill Avenue), and it is one of the steepest hills in the city. I also used to "joy ride" on that rig years previous, alongside Kevin, and never considered I could get killed like that.

He had 2 options, rear end the white car or go around and hope it turns out well. It didn’t. White car should be cited for failing to pull over for an emergency vehicle. It’s in every RMV book.

ironically the were 2 accidents involving fire trucks within 12hrs of each other just last month where I'm at. We had an ice storm and it was a pain in the ass. especially when you drive a ladder truck. I even saw 4 "electric company" trucks with chains... AND EVEN THEY HAD TROUBLE DRIVING!!!!!!!

I don't see how that is funny. Accidents involving emergency vehicles happen a lot more than you may think...

The white car had the right-of-way regardless of lights and sirens. The fire truck driver was clearly driving too fast. I am guessing he assumed the driver of the white vehicle was holding for him, which was not the case. I have 30+ years of accident investigation, and served on a volunteer ambulance corps. Defensive driving is the highest priority of the first response driver.

@@tomfrederick6083 When an emergency vehicle is coming, the white car by state law should stop and move to the right lane. I do agree that the fire engine driver seem to be driving a little fast and should have use defensive driving. I always did that when I was in the fire dept. Appears white car didn't use left turn indicator.

@tomfrederick6083. I understand right of way and asking for permission and all of that. My comment was simply posted to point out that today’s drivers are clueless as to what to do and the vast majority are not paying attention to what they need to be watching!

They are always complain about how slow I drive but I'm going to get us there without harming myself, my crew or other people. This is never a perfect example of just because you think they can hear you doesn't mean they can see you or will respond appropriately.

Usually it’s the Fire Truck that responds to the accidents not to be the one in the accident

That firetruck is speeding on the wrong side of the road. He would have hit either the black Miata or the white car, if the car went straight instead of turning. That car was clearly not stopping and there is never an acceptable reason to try to pass it on a narrow 2 lane road. Drive behind it. Itll notice your sirens eventually even if it is irritating. No ones life is saved by getting there in a hurry, its standard EVOC training not to drive stupid and never pass at high speed on the wrong side of the road. Defnintely a west coast vs east coast thing I see a lot. Volunteers on the east coast drive crazy as if saving 15 seconds makes a difference. 14 years in an ambulance, I have never driven like a jackass and I have never crashed into a building and never saved someone cause I got there seconds sooner. That engine is going through a small town and prolly had 7 red lights to stop for. He was saving no time.

That fire truck was going WAY to fast for that street and before you all comment on how the car caused it, As a driver of fire trucks and a tractor trailer driver by day you are taught to be safe and assume the other cars don't see or hear you before passing and or going through intersections as you respond to a call because if you don't get there, you're not helping anyone and causing emergency personnel to now come help you ,..

No sound during the wreck. I was on foot crossing 9 lanes of traffic, stupid EMS cut the light and fails to consider people crossing midway. Another incident, different town, I was a passenger and we had the green light, stupid EMS sped out in front of us, but did not have their siren on, and it's a blind corner. A police car was speeding excessively in the city, the civillians still had a green, but cop caused a wreck because he did not slow down to a safe speed, they tried to blame the civillian, but witnesses and camera say otherwise, again his siren was off. The white car was already mid turn, and at that rate of speed the fire truck was going I see how the white car didn't see it, if the siren was not on. If this was a regular rear end crash and not an ems, you all would likely not be blaming the white car.
