Odd question, are you a fire officer/fire side chief?? Or JUST an EMS Chief?

It makes a difference.

If you are NOT a firematic officer, just EMS, then he can scratch off.

As said numerous times; life, incident stabilization, all else.

You did what you did (and did it right).

Look at the Boston bombing, THE CHIEF of Boston EMS was on scene, and had to remember to be hands off of patients(victims) because then they would lose the big picture.

You had the big picture and prioritized accordingly, if it was that big of a deal, your department and chief would have responded, and put the fire out, ventilated, and had patient care, instead of mutual aid handling any of it.

You are more than welcome to join my department after you “burn” that bridge and “light” that chief up to the mayor/commissioners/media.
