San Diego Cop Handcuffs Firefighter Protecting Crash Victims

4

A long-simmering feud between San Diego-area fire departments and police came to a head Tuesday when an officer handcuffed a firefighter for not moving his truck as he was trying to rescue victims from an accident.

Video from the accident scene shows a California Highway Patrol officer arresting Chula Vista firefighter Jacob Gregoire, 36, after refusing to move a fire truck positioned to shield rescue workers and accident victims from fast moving traffic along the side of a busy freeway.

The unidentified CHP officer cuffed the first responder and put him in the back of a squad car for 30 minutes, according to CBS 8, which also reported that CHP officers and firefighters have battled over accident scene protocol in the past.

Shocking arrest: Firefighter Jacob Gregoire was arrested for not moving a fire truck while trying to rescue victims of a rollover accident

Radio communication obtained by ABC 10 showed how shocked firefighters were at the sight of an emergency responder being cuffed and led away from the scene of a serious accident while trying to help the injured.

‘I did not move our engine so it’s still in the initial spot, and we’re just continuing with patient care,’ a firefighter told the dispatcher.

‘This is ridiculous. We’re in the middle of patient care with patients on the [freeway] and we’re trying to protect our scene … and they’re putting him in handcuffs at this time and walking him away.’

Chula Vista Fire Chief Dave Hanneman agreed.

‘To detain one of our firefighters in the middle of an incident is ridiculous,’ he said in a statement.

Gregoire shouted to the news camera that he was being arrested as the officer searched his coat and pulled out handcuffs.

‘Hey, I just want you to know that he’s arresting me,’ Gregoire said, pointing to the officer.

‘It’s unbelievable you have to do this,’ the officer said while cuffing the 12 year veteran firefighter.

‘It’s unbelievable that you guys have to treat us like this,’ Gregoire replied. ‘We are on the road trying to help people.’

‘We asked you to clear the road and you said no, and you are getting arrested for not moving it,’ said the officer.

The officer is then seen leading Gregoire away while his colleagues continue to tend to the victims of the rollover crash. He was held in the back of the police car for about 30 minutes.

A CHP spokesperson told the station that Gregoire’s fire truck was the only was the only one out of three not moved in compliance with the officer’s request, but fire officials say he was within his rights to not move the truck.

‘My engineers and all the crews did exactly what they’re trained to do,’ Hanneman told the station.

Fire officials also said the police officer also ordered a fire truck with an on duty paramedic to leave before first aid was finished being administered.

Two people were injured after their Ford mustang hit the barrier, overturned and landed in a construction site, according to ABC 10, their conditions are not known.

The president of the local firefighters union agreed.

‘I’m very proud of Jacob. He did a good job,’ said John Hess. ‘He made all firefighters look good. He was there to protect the citizens and he was willing to take a stand to do that.’

Commenters on the station’s Facebook page sided with Gregoire.

‘As a firefighter with 30 years experience responding to exactly this kind of incident, I can assure you that the truck was properly placed to provide maximum safety to the crews,’ wrote Ernest Chiardonna.

Perp walk: Gregoire is treated like a criminal despite following his training to the letter, fire officials said

‘I normally give Cops the benefit of the doubt, but in this case I can’t see any way this couldn’t have been handled after the incident,’ James Johnson added.

One commenter detailed his issues with the CHP.

‘I have been a fire fighter for almost 30 years… in the last few years have had several (6+) incidents with local CHP Officers over where we have parked our engines on incidents,’ Gregory White recalled.

‘We have had a CHP attempt to cuff a captain, chest butt, threaten and curse firefighters during the incidents,’ he continued.

Fire officials echoed White’s comments, telling CBS 8 there have been several run-ins between CHP officers and firfighters in recent years – but this is the first one that ended in arrest.

Several other firefighters explained that the truck was properly positioned to protect all individuals at the scene, police included.

The officer has not been publicly named by the CHP, and it is not clear if any disciplinary action will be taken.

No charges were filed against Gregoire, he continued the rest of his shift after being released.

In 2008, a Missouri jury awarded a firefighter more than $17,000 for a false arrest over a similar incident, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.

It is not clear if Gregoire will take legal action.

    Don’t give the bastard cops the Benefit of the doubt. They would be just as happy to shoot you in the back as look at you. The firefighter should have decked the asshole!

    Maybe all the local fire departments should find out who owns the building that is burning…. If it is a
    CHP jerkoff let it burn – if enough criminals with badges lose their houses/businesses…….
    I’m only thinking out loud and mean no harm to anyone.

  3. doesntmatter says:

    what o_o? you mean even the firefighters are afraid of swine in uniform??? they are trained to look out for their fellow fireman, and not ONE of his brothers tried to intervene and help reason with the situation??? lol, soon there will be POFFFRSM’s (police officer/ firefighter/ first responder/ swat/ military…you call one, you call all)

    Police such as this , are qualified idiots and should be put down like rabid dogs. They are a curse to humanity and should be exterminated
