Captain has the authority to split the response if we're enroute together. Otherwise, one unit has a duty to stay. It doesn't happen often. Also, the percentage of high priority calls is fairly low. Another way to look at it is if you encounter a fire enroute a medical aid. Obviously, we stop!

FTR: we cannot drive past an accident that we witness or are involved in. It falls under Duty to Act. We need to attend the incident we come across and have an additional response dispatched to the original call. I did this a handful of times in my career.

Drove an ambulance, (40,000 lb.) fire engine,and supervised drivers for 17 years. We rarely exceeded the speed limit. It isn't safe and doesn't satisfy the legal requirement of "Due Regard" that protects us from successful litigation in a collision.

In L.A., police nightsticks are clubbing press freedom to death | Will Bunch
On Friday, LAPD cops allegedly battered and detained journalists at a protest β the ugliest of the many threats to U.S. press freedom.
10 journalists were put in cuffs and/or violently assaulted by LAPD on Friday night.
@willbunch.bsky.social wrote his Sunday @inquirer.com column about what this means for press freedom nationally.
My description: βUtter lawlessness by the LAPD... they seemed thirsty to crack skulls.β
