What should be done if a vehicle is found blocking a fire lane?

When a vehicle is found blocking a fire lane, the proper course of action is to cite and potentially tow the vehicle immediately for safety reasons. Fire lanes are designated areas that must remain clear at all times to ensure emergency vehicles have unobstructed access to buildings and emergency situations. Blocking these lanes poses a significant risk as it could delay emergency response during a fire or other crisis.

Addressing the situation by issuing a citation and towing the vehicle as necessary reinforces the importance of keeping these areas clear and emphasizes the enforcement of public safety regulations. This action helps deter future violations and ensures compliance with the law, protecting both property and lives during emergencies.
