If the firefighter was heading to an emergency, then he is not 100% at fault. The pedestrian in this case should take some responsibility for delaying an emergency vehicle from getting to its destination.

0:46 so what you saying is that emergency vehicles must stop at all pedestrian crossing when the lights are activated on the cross walk?

For anyone confused, this rule also applies for emergency vehicles passing a stopped school bus with red lights flashing and their stop sign out. The emergency vehicle must come to a full stop at the appropriate distance in front or behind the school bus and may only proceed after the bus has turned off its flashing red lights. Pedestrian safety takes priority regardless of what the emergency situation is.

Police: investigates firefighters | Firefighters: Investigates themselves

People got to stop listening to their headphones in their ear I'm sure the fire department had their sirens on

It is not illegal to speed whilst responding.

He should sue the city.

BS

Lack of training on both sides caused this. Firefighter should have known to stop. Kid should have stayed put.

So if a child is crossing at a intersection on a green light and gets hit they are okay but because it was a crosswalk he gets charged??? Something is not right here.

No one is above the law!
