Fire Truck Blocked by Bad Parking in Petworth
A Petworth fire engine was left stuck on High Street yesterday evening (12th December) after a Mercedes illegally parked on double yellow lines blocked the corner of Middle Street. The parked car made it impossible for the fire appliance to get through.
Luckily, the call turned out to be a false alarm, so no emergency intervention was needed.
Illegal Parking Puts Lives at Risk
Double yellow lines are there for a reason – to keep roads clear for emergency vehicles. This careless driver in Petworth could have delayed a fire rescue if the situation had been serious.
