LOL they make hose bridges for a reason.
I put the blame on local PD for not stopping traffic. |

View Quote As a non-fire fighter, I would probably pull up, looking for someone somewhere watching the hose and holding people back. I would probably hesitate, but be bullied to drive over it if someone behind me really started honking, assuming no one there or no cones means drive over it, not knowing how fragile they are. |

You can't expect your garden variety house wife soccer mom to have any idea that she can't drive over it. I blame the fire dept and police. At the very least have quick pop up signs saying road closed.

Hard to believe the hoses aren't constructed to take being run over.

lol PD wasn't even on scene, yet they're "to blame" according to arfcom. Classic. View Quote On this scene, Medic needs to ease off the corner and block the road until more PD shows up. I do when it's my day on the bandaid box. |

So find them and fine them, but I didn't know you couldn't run over a hose.
Hell, most people probably figure you can run over your shitty China garden hose 500 times, why wouldn't a giant industrial one be better? |

I'd bet they were already on scene, parked where some of you usually do: in the driveway or directly in front of the house. When I see you did that, I do everything I can to pull up and get lines down quick so you're blocked in. It's a game with some of yuns who can't figure it out.

I bet you 90% of the population would run over it. Heck, around here most people don't even know to pull over and stop for an emergency vehicle.

I didn't know that those hoses couldn't be run over...I guess I had never thought about it before.

View Quote if you run over your garden hose you only hit it with your tires. A fire hose is so thick that the bottom of many cars will hit it and there are lots of sharp pointy things under many cars. |

They are heavy and expensive enough as it is. The yellow is your clue that I own the street. If you try that around me you are likely to run over a halligan spike up. View Quote Yellow doesn't mean shit. At best caution. If you want people to stop, maybe choose red? And you down't "own" a fucking thing, your borrowing, act accordingly. |

I didn't know you couldn't run over a firehose. I've never been in that situation, but I probably would have driven over it as well, with the mindset of "I need to get out of their way" more than "I need to stay here".

View Quote If fire departments don't want their hoses damaged, they should stop bitching on twitter and get traffic direction, or educate the people in their community. I'm not even sure if kids going through driver's ed are taught this. |

That's on the FD. Consider it the cost of doing business and throw it in the pile with the rest of the old/worn out hoses.

View Quote Seriously though, while I didn't know it was illegal or that it would destroy the hose, I know better than do drive over one. My wife on the other hand might. Her sister wouldn't even slow down because she probably didn't see the hose. And putting cones by it would be worthless, she'd either drive through them or around them. |

So, she's following other traffic, they have no scene control, nothing saying road closed, etc. She can just say she was moving with the flow of traffic. FD should do better.

As over the top as "fire police" were in some areas that I lived, if they were there it would have now been a heart attack as well.
