I would say blame is on both parts. SUV didn't even come to a full stop at the stop sign, but the engine shoulda been slowing down to clear the intersection. So much for "due regard." When I was in the fire service, they always told us, "if you can't drive the apparatus to the scene safely, don't drive it at all."

As a recently retired professional FF with 34 year's service, and a former driving instructor, the fault goes both ways here. The car driver was obviously not using their mirrors, and the apparatus driver swerved left, not expecting a left turn, UNLESS, the car driver used their turn signal. When I used to drive fire trucks, if we got a report of a fire or a person not breathing, I didn't drive as if I was going to visit Gramma. I busted my a$$ to get over there ASAP, just like the driver in this video. But I was always taught as a truck & bus driver, if a vehicle suddenly crossed your path, DON'T SWERVE! Hit the brakes, steer straight, and take out the car.

​@Jimmythefish577 there's a difference between factual and legal responsibility. Factually both the engineer and the driver of the SUV share fault. Legally, however, the SUV driver is at fault. While operating an emergency vehicle you have to drive with "due regard" which I believe they were. It would be unreasonable for them for them not to pass other vehicles when running code because a driver might do something like this. It is on the other drivers on the road to pull to yield and pull to the right. That's why if someone does not do that they can be cited for "failure to yield to an emergency vehicle" since they are required to do so.

Huge amount of property damage in the bat of an eye!

I saw this very same type of accident with a fire truck, which happened in Philadelphia, no one was hurt. What a miracle, all because of a driver not paying attention.

While we cannot be sure exactly what speed the engine was going, we can safely say they were going a minimum of the speed limit. South Long Beach road has a speed limit of 30 MPH (a speed limit sign is approx. 1 block down from where this crash happened), so the engine was doing at least that, and at most 10 over which is what most jurisdictions allow for any emergency vehicle. The white SUV had no turn signal on and was not moving over to allow the engine to pass, which is failure to yield to an emergency vehicle under the law. Additionally the driver of the SUV was probably not paying attention due to a cellphone or simply being too self-absorbed to care (pretty common anymore honestly). The only issue I see here is that the engineer swerved left instead of right. Going right would have clipped the rear of the SUV and spun it, but ultimately everyone would be ok. Instead the engine is gonna be out for 6 months to have its entire front end repaired, provided the frame isn't bent. If the frame is bent, that engine company is gonna be running a spare for a few years, because it'll take that long for the brand new replacement to come in unless they buy a used engine off another company on Long Island.

Another incident, different town, I was a passenger and we had the green light, stupid EMS sped out in front of us, but did not have their siren on, and it's a blind corner. A police car was speeding excessively in the city, the civillians still had a green, but cop caused a wreck because he did not slow down to a safe speed, they tried to blame the civillian, but witnesses and camera say otherwise, again his siren was off. The white car was already mid turn, and at that rate of speed the fire truck was going I see how the white car didn't see it, if the siren was not on. If this was a regular rear end crash and not an ems, you all would likely not be blaming the white car.

No ones life is saved by getting there in a hurry, its standard EVOC training not to drive stupid and never pass at high speed on the wrong side of the road. Defnintely a west coast vs east coast thing I see a lot. Volunteers on the east coast drive crazy as if saving 15 seconds makes a difference. 14 years in an ambulance, I have never driven like a jackass and I have never crashed into a building and never saved someone cause I got there seconds sooner. That engine is going through a small town and prolly had 7 red lights to stop for. He was saving no time.

When you see a little white car ahead of you while you're racing to a fire, never assume he or she is going to turn, stand still, or even reverse, slam on your brakes and approach and pass with caution and then proceed.
