Police officer caught on camera handcuffing a FIREFIGHTER as he was rescuing victims of a rollover crash on the side of a busy highway
Firefighter Jacob Gregoire, 36, was cuffed and held in a California Highway patrol squad car for 30 minutes after he refused to move his firetruck
Fire officials insist the 12 year veteran was following his training and parked the truck in a manner meant to shield all persons at the scene - including police - from busy traffic
The incident comes after multiple battles between police and fire crews in southern California...
....The officer has not been publicly named by the CHP, and it is not clear if any disciplinary action will be taken.
No charges were filed against Gregoire, he continued the rest of his shift after being released.
In 2008, a Missouri jury awarded a firefighter more than $17,000 for a false arrest over a similar incident, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.
