When a fire department responds to an alarm, whether it's a fire, an EMS call, a rescue call, or even a false alarm, with sirens and air horns blasting and vehicle safety strobe lights flashing, people are just naturally attracted to the scene.

That presents the Fire Police with two important tasks.

First, to ensure the safety of both the general public and all of the emergency service personnel.

Second, to safely control anyone passing by and also any onlookers.

Everyone at an emergency scene must be protected from all vehicular traffic and even bicycles as they all can cause serious and even fatal injuries. Burning structures also create safety hazards.

Crowd control and fire fighter safety are the prime responsibility of a department's Fire Police company.

It's important to understand that every member of a Fire Police company is an active and qualified firefighter, and secondly they are a Fire Police Officer.

Sometimes manpower at a fire can be minimal during the initial stages of an alarm and the need is there to first assist in rescues, render first-aid, help to suppress a fire, and then to act as Fire Police.

Fire Police will try to control any crowds to keep them at a safe distance from the event for themselves as well as for the personnel directly involved in the call.

Fire Police will control the flow of traffic to assure emergency vehicles quick, safe entrance and egress to the incident. They may halt traffic, block a road off, detour you in another direction, all because of the situation and the dangers involved.

Fire Police, while usually not involved directly with the fire itself, play a very critical role at the scene of a fire.
