Access appears limited getting to the crash scene in the photo and it may not have been apparent at the time where debris was completely located, what with fire/smoke etc; especially in an agricultural area scene. Regardless, tactical positioning needs to be made to facilitate safe firefighting operations and optimal suppression coverage as well as rescue; and if it so happens that a fire truck, a hoseline, or firefighters are in or moved through a portion of the debris, whether previously known or unknown, that fact get documented for investigators, and operations go on. These things happen. Not optimal, but neither is the overall mess of a scene either.

Their last Hunter crash 2 years ago was in the same area as this one. 3 months prior to that crash was their Kfir accident at Fallon. 3 fatals in 2 years time. Condolences.

Yep. Remember the surviving passenger that got run over by the fire truck at the Asiana KSFO crash site.

RIP.
