Unlike UK, marshals don't go trackside on a live track unless instructed. Also they don't have 'incident' marshals as we do at every post. Firies are posted in pairs and the nearest to that point are probably driver's right opposite the LH apex, so quite a way away.

edit: Just spotted BodySnatcher's similar reply.
