When a driver is involved in a crash, first responders are the ones who put themselves in harm's way. They do it even if that means they could become the next call for help. "Our firefighters are highly trained to go into house fires to apartment fires, to gas leaks, to dangerous situations," said Capt. Rob McDade with the Phoenix Fire Department. "If you ask any firefighter, they're most fearful on a car accident on a freeway." New data from AAA Arizona has found one in four drivers are not familiar with the state's Move Over Law. ABC15 decided to go to the very people this lack of understanding impacts the most: firefighters. It's such a prevalent issue that those in the driver's seat of the fire truck must train how to avoid those on a roadway who do not know what they are doing.
