This week, the week of November 18th, is recognized as National Crash Responder Safety week.
As of late September, 28 first responders had been killed by vehicles including law enforcement, fire, EMS, DOT, and tow truck drivers. All of those people had families to go home to but didn't get to and ALL of those incidents were preventable.
The State of Colorado has a "Move-Over" law requiring drivers to slo down and move over when approaching emergency vehicles, tow-trucks, or highway maintenance when emergency lights are activated.
We unfortunately encounter close calls daily whether we're working on the side of a road or highway or responding to calls.
One is one too many.
