This area will also include parking or standing motor vehicles within 10 feet of a fire hydrant as hereinafter set forth.
Whenever the Fire Marshal shall determine that the reasonable safety of persons occupying or using any premises, public or private, requires the establishment of a fire zone for orderly access of fire and other emergency equipment, the Fire Marshal shall establish such fire zone/lane by written order.

Any person violating this article shall be fined not more than $100. The registered owner of a motor vehicle shall be presumed to be the operator of such vehicle in the event that it cannot be established by the investigating authority who was the actual operator of said vehicle.
Any motor vehicle found parking or standing in a fire zone/lane which has been established in accordance with this article, may be towed, upon direction of the Old Saybrook Police Department and Old Saybrook Fire Marshal, to any public or private parking facility, and all expenses of such towing and of any subsequent storage shall be borne by the registered owner of such vehicle.
