It can’t be predicted when a fire will break out. Illegally parking in fire lanes impacts firefighters’ ability to do their job. Parking of non-emergency vehicles in fire lanes is prohibited at all times because the lane gets blocked for fire crews who would need immediate and continuous access to these spots during a fire outbreak. Taking advantage of empty parking space in fire lanes even for a few minutes may lead to delay in help and even become a matter of life and death for fire victims.
