Somebody could have been sued if somebody was hurt while they were not strictly following the rules!
Besides, the Fireman's Union is in charge of doing the "rescuing" at fires, not the Police Union - or untrained nonunion peasants!
Sheesh, people! Priorites, please,... PRIORITIES!
But stopping the firemen from saving people?

My cousin , a NYC cop , was busted several ranks for turning off the electricity at a auto accident where the pole and wires were on top of the car and arcing ...it’s quite simple to do , many poles have the old “frankenstein” disconnect levers/switches (just use something non-conducting to work it ,, like a broomstick) ... you see he should have waited for the union electrician from con-ed to arrive and take a chance that the car wouldn’t catch fire.. (I guess he’d have to wait for the union firemen in that instance)...
