Water moving that fast that is that deep could have easily swept the truck away or a someone else mentioned, there could be some other hazard that was hidden by the water. I completely understand why they did it, but what do they drill in everyone's heads in fire and EMT/medic school? Scene safety, scene safety, scene safety.
I respectfully disagree in this circumstance. They knew what they were doing. And I do agree with your statement about safety. They were responding to a call and were not putting people in unnecessary danger, but rather, they were doing what all you medics, fire eaters, and Law Enforcement folks do best. Putting your life on the line to help save another. Even if it looks dangerous or too risky.
