There are hereby adopted by the City of Roseville the fire control measures and regulations as herein set forth for the purpose of controlling conditions which could impede or interfere with fire suppression forces.
The Fire Chief or duly authorized representatives, as may be in charge at the scene of a fire or other emergency involving the protection of life and/or property, are empowered to direct such operations as may be necessary to extinguish or control any suspected or reported fires, gas leaks or other hazardous conditions or situations or to take any other action necessary in the reasonable performance of their duty. The Fire Chief may prohibit any person, vehicle or object from approaching the scene and may remove or cause to be removed from the scene any person, vehicle or object which may impede or interfere with the operations of the Fire Department. The Fire Chief may remove or cause to be removed any person, vehicle or object from hazardous areas. All persons ordered to leave a hazardous area shall do so immediately and shall not reenter the area until authorized to do so by the Fire Chief.
It shall be unlawful to interfere with, attempt to interfere with, conspire to interfere with, obstruct or restrict the mobility of or block the path of travel of any Fire Department emergency vehicle in any way, or to interfere with, attempt to interfere with, conspire to interfere with, obstruct or hamper any Fire Department operation.
§ 144-4 Disobeying orders of Fire Department officer. [1]
Any person who, while in the vicinity of any fire, willfully disobeys any reasonable order or rule of the officer commanding any Fire Department at such fire, when such order or rule is given by the commanding officer or a fire fighter there present, is guilty of a misdemeanor (MSA § 28.438).
A vehicle shall not be driven or propelled over any unprotected fire hose of the Fire Department, when laid down on any street, alleyway, private drive or any other vehicular roadway, without the consent of the Fire Chief in command of said operation.
Authorized emergency vehicles shall be restricted to those which are defined and authorized under the laws of the State of Michigan.
Upon the approach of any authorized emergency vehicle giving audible and visual signal, the operator of every other vehicle shall immediately drive the same to a position as near as possible and parallel to the right-hand edge or curb of the street or roadway, clear of any intersection, and shall stop and remain in such position until the authorized emergency vehicle or vehicles shall have passed, unless otherwise directed by the Fire Chief or a police officer.[1]
