Police, firefighters, and paramedics all have a dangerous job.
They put their lives on the line everyday, but it’s not just the scene that’s dangerous, but getting there too.
Sirens and horns is a sound of urgency., but to Battalion Chief Cory Moon, it's more than that.
"My number 1 goal for us and the citizens is safe," said Battalion Chief Moon.
He’s not just talking about the house fire, or the car accident...he’s talking about driving to that scene.
Sometimes, it can be weather that causes problems for emergency personnel like this month in Oneonta.
But for Moon, he said it’s the drivers. "Most of the time people just panic because they don’t know what to do," said Moon.
