Alright heres something ive been wondering about for a while but now had the time and innitiative to put on the board...
Fire Police. What powers do they actually have...i understand they are w/ the fire department correct? I know they direct traffic around fire scenes but can they stop an individual (not w/ a vehicle) from crossing down a public road...
I know that a fire chief has the power to allow or now allow someone on property because when they arrive at a scene the department "owns" the property till they release it...meaning even the owners can be escorted off until safe
I ask this because a few days ago a fire police officer would not let me walk down the road a few more feet to get a clear picture of a simple garage fire (didnt know it at the time, thought the house had started to burn too)
What powers do they have? BTW in case its a state by state thing this happened in NY...
Thanks!
