Could it be possible that firefighters did not render aid?

I saw this story in the Jackson Sun and was stunned:

Firefighter response questioned in fatal wreck

The Jackson Sun

City and county officials are reviewing the response of Jackson firefighters to a fiery accident that happened outside city limits and killed a former Jackson Christian School football star.
Nick Melton, 18, died early June 3 after his truck went off Ashport Road, crashed into a tree and caught fire. According to statements in a Madison County Sheriff’s Department report, Jackson firefighters were the first firefighters to arrive at the crash, but did not get out of their truck to help emergency workers and witnesses, who could not get in the truck because of the heat.

Witnesses and deputies complained in the report that the firefighters sat in the truck despite motions for them to help douse the flames. “The complaint from EMS was that allegedly that the Jackson Fire Department was on the scene or near the scene because the vehicle crash was outside city limits,” Sheriff David Woolfork said Tuesday morning. “At this point I can’t confirm whether or not that occurred.”The department investigated after emergency workers complained that firefighters were advised not to help with the fire, the report says.Mike Morgan, the interim Jackson fire chief, said firefighters were initially told the accident was at Thelma Barker Elementary School, and did not see the fire until they noticed that foliage around the crash was aflame. The firefighters reported to their dispatcher that county firefighters were already at the wreck when they arrived.Morgan said he hoped to finish a report on the matter today.“Whether they acted or not because they were in the county has no play here,” Morgan said. “There was some confusion for about one or one and a half minutes there that before he got out of the truck and saw the county fire truck actually extinguishing.”He said he did not know whether any disciplinary action would be taken. The firefighters and the dispatcher involved are still on duty, Morgan said.“It’s a possibility, but it’s still an ongoing study of what’s going on in this one- to two-minute time frame,” Morgan said.Woolfork would not comment on whether a quicker response by firefighters could have saved Melton. When asked the same question, Morgan said, “I don’t know. I would like to think that bottom line there wouldn’t be any different outcome in this situation."Read Wednesday’s edition of The Jackson Sun for more information on this story.
