🚒 **Every second and every inch matters.**
Parking on both sides of a residential street may not always be illegal, but it can create a serious challenge for emergency vehicles trying to get through.
Fire engines, ambulances, ladder trucks, and other response vehicles are larger than most people realize. When both sides of the road are lined with vehicles, it can slow us down, limit access, or even prevent us from reaching someone who needs help.
Before you park, take a moment to look around:
Can an engine fit through?
Can crews access a hydrant?
Could your vehicle delay help getting to your neighbor, your family, or your home?
A little awareness can make a big difference when the call comes in. Help us help you by leaving room for emergency response vehicles to safely pass.
**Clear streets save time. Saved time saves lives.**
