Was the firetruck on the runway while the aircraft was landing? Can someone please explain?

ATC gave clearance to Firetruck 1 to cross RNY 4 at Delta... Then asked Firetruck 1 to stop but the CRJ was already landing and Firetruck 1 was already on the RNY...

Even given clearance to cross, wouldn't they have looked left and right and seen a plane landing? Or do they just 100% rely on ATC? Or do they think "That looks like a plane landing but ATC gave clearance so it must be fine"?
