CHULA VISTA (CBS 8) – A CHP officer's move to detain a Chula
Vista firefighter responding to a crash scene has some asking about the chain
of command during emergency situations.
CBS News 8 cameras were rolling around 9:00 p.m. Tuesday
when the two got into a dispute over where the fire engine should park while
firefighters were responding to the crash that happened north on I-805 between
Telegraph Canyon Road and East Orange Avenue.
According to officials, the officer told the firefighter to
move his truck from the center divide, but the firefighter refused that request
and continued giving aid to the crash victims.
CBS News 8 video shows the CHP officer cuffing the
firefighter, identified as Jacob Gregoire, 36, at the scene of the accident. In
the background, other fire crews and officers can be seen tending to the
victims of the rollover accident.
The firefighter, who's been with the fire department for 12
1/2 years, was detained in the back of a CHP vehicle for about half an hour
before being released.
