NJ Turnpike Firefighters on Overpasses?

Hello:

So today I was driving southbound on the good old Jersey Turnpike. So after the big merge at Exit 8A (which was a disaster in itself) I discobered something peculiar. On an overpass just after NJDOT leaves us notorists to fend for ourselves when soccer moms from Livingston, big riggers from Laredo, and everything inbetween are left to fend for thenselves when 9 lanes become 2 (my point: do something NJ!!!) and anyways on this overpass I saw a fire truck and a few ambulence parked on this bridge. Oh an accident I thought. And on the next overpass, another ensemble, only this time the firemeb were standing ontop of their trucks and waving, saluting, and fistpumping (yeaa Jersey Shore!!!) to us motorists. This cintinued for about the next 20 overpasses up right untill exit 7A ( where youvare apparrntly aloud to use the ramp shoulder in traffic eow.) This resulted into hornhonking and waving from drivers (and also a bit of a rubbernecking!) I observed also that the crews waved only to southvound drivers (we braved the lincoln tunnel after all! But really why?) aldo i saw this again at exit 1 (del riv bridge.) why? Any info appreciated sorry for typoes thx!!!

    The Turnpike is run by the Turnpike Authority, which is separate from NJDOT.
    NJDOT only runs the free roads.
    If you want to rant about traffic, at least get the name of the agency correct.

    A cross made from World Trade Center steel was driven to Pennsylvania for a 9/11 memorial. Firefighters stood (or sat) along the route, which went through NJ, to waive to the motorcyclists escorting it. But it left two years ago, so it should be there by now. NJ traffic is slow, but not that slow. Maybe they went back for a reenactment.
