The night time car crash scene has an Illinois State Trooper handling the scene. Since the CFD is a city agency, they would not respond to calls outside the city.
The call could be within the City of Chicago. The State Trooper may be handling the crash scene because it's on a state highway, which State Troopers would have jurisdiction over. Even if a Chicago Police Department officer were at the scene, it's likely that it would be placed under State Trooper jurisdiction because city police don't normally spend their time doing traffic control on highways. That's what the State Troopers are for.

Dawson acts surprised when Boden tells her she cannot work on truck 81 under Casey when she passes the exam. It's a normal and well known procedure that people in public safety work cannot supervise a spouse or romantic partner. These rules exist since the supervising officer could show favoritism towards the subordinate or their decision making could be compromised by emotion.
At the gas station fire, the woman passenger can't get out of the truck at the pump due to a leg brace. The truck was not on fire, so Hermann says to put out the fire next to it. The man then runs and starts the truck and moves it into the clear, starting a small fire on the rear of the truck when the pump hose broke. Hermann then says that was one of the dumbest moves he had seen in a long time.
In fact, moving the truck was a very sound idea. The firefighters should have cleared the gas hose from the tank and then moved all of the operational vehicles, which would include the truck, a safe distance away. As professional firefighters, failing to do that was truly a dumb move.
