This takes some time to study, to realize what it is you are
actually looking at. The telephone pole helps as a reference point...
Sometimes what you see as you first arrive on the scene may not be
exactly what you have after further investigation. Although these pictures are
of a vehicle accident they exemplify how things in other situations
can be deceiving. If you approached this scene from the driver's side,
the damage doesn't looks so devastating. However, if you approached
from the front or the passenger side your would have a totally
different impression of the scene. Fortunately there was no passenger
in the vehicle at the time of the accident.
This same scenario can and does exist when approaching any emergency
scene or fireground. Do not necessarily take the word of others or even
necessarily rely on your first Impressions. Sometimes additional
investigation can lead to an entirely different conclusion
While covering for a few hours on E24, we responded on this wreck.
Thedriver swerved to avoid a car turning left and spun out on an icy
intersection. I ordered the crew to stretch a line and was literally
transmitting a request for the Entrapment Compliment when the police
Sergeant on the scene pointed at a guy standing on the sidewalk
saying, "Here's the driver!"
Except for a scratch on his hand he was totally unharmed.
