That's the best steelman of the fire official's position that I've seen, but it still sounds like it was a decent general rule, being overapplied when it was inappropriate for the situation (per the pilot's testimony, there were no other helicopters operating in the area, when he was threatened with arrest if he went back to pick up his son).
- _djo_ 2y agoI agree the fire chief's response could've been better, but I'm also willing to cut people at the local response level a bit of slack in being overwhelmed, exhausted, and perhaps not fully aware of all the moving parts above them. That's why it's so important as a volunteer to approach the organisations, units, groups, etc who are set up to accept and onboard volunteer help.
