Officer McFarland Clagett was issued a citation for failure to drive an emergency vehicle safely.
I assume you mean this.....
The use of emergency equipment (lights & siren) "requests" the right of way. It does not demand it. Thus, this is why the officer was provided a ticket. I would have provided her a ticket as well. She is a very young officer. However, it is no excuse. Hopefully everyone will be okay. There will probably be a lawsuit to follow.

Supposedly this was for a boat on fire. If true, certainly an emergency. As always, you are not going to save a life if you crash on the way there.

Hmmm I would have called the fire department myself.

Not the norm to see this, normally I think this is handled internally. I think if she had not been NRP and young, it would not have been a ticket.

A few years ago I was shooting with one of John Denison's sons at one of their farms on Flora Park Rd in Brandywine, someone called in people shooting going on to DNR. The officer that responded that Sunday afternoon worked the Annapolis area and he told us he was heading over the Bay bridge on his way home when the call came in. He ran the call with lights and no siren, When he approached us he was a little nervous but professional. A few minutes later he took my 10mm MP5 for a spin and then thanked us and headed back to the shore. They have a lot of duty's sometimes.
Just illustrates the idiocy of the dispatch policies that govern PGPD, staties and wardens. If there was a concern that you guys endangered anyone, a quick response from PGPD or MSP would have been the right anwer. If this was about potential poaching, there was no need for NRP to respond with emergency signals from 1/2 way across the state.
