A driver was caught on camera barely missing an Oshtemo Township fire truck and first responders cleaning up a crash scene. It happened in the evening of Nov. 22 after a three-vehicle crash had first responders block off KL Avenue between 11th Street and Drake Road with two fire engines. “Our policy is we set up what’s called ‘blocking positions’ to protect ourselves and our patients from oncoming traffic,” said Oshtemo Township Fire Capt. Eric Burghardt. That apparently did not matter to a driver in what appeared to be a silver Subaru. Firefighters say she drove so close to their crews cleaning up the crash debris that she clipped one of the tools they were using.
