I can’t believe people are literally standing next to fire hoses and are in the way of firemen!! Stand back away a couple hundred feet !!!

It's unbelievable how many people feel the need to be that close. Paramedics and firemen should not have to worry about people being in their way.

Oh no. That’s terrible. I hope no one gets hurt.
