The plan must be developed and trained on in cooperation w/ the responding police agency (highway patrol, sheriff, city police etc) as well as any other responders you deal with.

In this latest clip and CLOSE CALL, a Taurus wagon was fully involved. A couple of minutes after Firefighters got water on it and during overhaul, watch at 07:26:40 and you'll see a smokey item roll across by the median. This was a strut from the lift gate, had shot out just missing a FF in the smoke and bounced off either the Troopers squad or the civilian's before rolling to median. CONSIDER THE FORCE of it going that distance. From FirefighterCloseCalls.com
