Recently our VFD was dispatched for a MVC- Usual response of Fire / PD / EMS was done as normal. Once into the incident, with substantial manpower a recently off "Junior" status Fire Fighter was responding POV to this call, running "blue" lights- The road the member was on was a 35-45 MHP 2 lane road. The subject was approaching the scene at a high rate of speed, and when he realized he was approaching the scene, at such a higher rate of speed, he ended up ditching his vehicle, to avoid hitting another members POV and local PD units and OFFICERS. Said member has ran across the state border to a call, running "blue lights" to a call when there was already FD on scene, and the member is NOT a EMT in the neighboring state. This member has also "impersonated" an EMT NUMEROUS occasions, while in EMT class- and has been found to "jump" calls with neighboring FD's
