GOONELLABAH ROLL OVER

 
The images and video footage attached show a single vehicle roll over crash which occurred earlier today, Sunday, 25 January 2015 on Brooker Drive at Goonellabah.

I have absolutely no clue what the issue is but Goonellabah Fire & Rescue went to considerable lengths to try to have me moved back out of camera view of the crash site even asking police to move me away when I refused to comply with their ridiculous and unnecessary demand.

Police declined to move me on as I was already across the road well out of the way and there was clearly no valid reason to do so. There were also barefoot neighbours in their pyjamas filming on their phones right in the driveway where the crash happened who were not being moved away.

The unusual behaviour from the firies then continued as they tried to block every shot by forming a wall of firies and standing in the way of my position until work started to remove the vehicles. They even approached persons involved telling them that I would plaster their faces all over the Internet while I was still capturing images.

Similar incidents occurred with Goonellabah Fire & Rescue at previous incidents around Goonellabah at locations involving a vehicle fire in a driveway and a vehicle fire in a park. There have been absolutely no issues with any other fire station or fire service and their head office has even confirmed in writing that Fire & Rescue have no issue with persons recording images at such scenes and I was more than welcome to do it.

Of course, if safety was really the issue, it would be a completely different story and I would have to move out of harms way like everyone else but this was clearly not the case here since I asked why others were not being moved on.

Their behaviour was so unusual this morning that I almost forgot why I was even there.

I guess I have just come across more individuals who do not like Lismore Radio, me personally or just do not want the public to know what is going on. Unfortunately, these guys will result in considerably more hate coming my way - something I have become extremely used to in the Lismore/Goonellabah area and have learned to live with.

Bring it on I say!!!
