After a fire broke out in Bronx, firefighters rushed to reach the burning building-only to be stopped by an illegal parked car in front of the fire tap, according to ABC, ABC, WABC-TV.
“To combat illegal parking lots around the firefighting vehicle, FDny released the first criminal summons ever after a fatal fire in which a vehicle closest to the fire was banned,” I mentioned on the New York Fire Department page.
FDNY Robert Tikker Commissioner said there should be consequences for slowing officers trying to contain fatal fires.
“It is greater than the violation of parking – this is life and death,” he said.
“Your actions are important. Think before you make a decision to find a fire tap,” he added.
When the firefighting crew tried to enter the building, they were banned by the car that was parked in front of the nearest fire.
“We have unfortunately did a car parked on the nearest fire tap,” said John Esposetto, head of FDNY. ”
“We all know that we should not be parking in a fire.
Two people died in the rampant fire on Anthony Street in Bronx.
According to FDNY, the fire was caused by the space heater.
Although the driver, who stopped in front of the building, expressed its remorse, she also said that she felt frustrated with the parking lots available in New York City.
“We are not supposed to do so, but anywhere I will stop it?
This is not the first time that a driver has stopped in front of a faucet, and the firefighters are prevented from reaching a burning building.
A similar event earlier this month in Brooklyn, according to WABC-TV.
According to New York Law, it is illegal to stand 15 feet from the fire tap.
Parking base in New York City
New York City drivers are illegal to stop 15 feet from two sides of the fire.
This includes parking next to the floating parking corridors (next to the protected cycling corridors).

Drivers must follow the box base after seven days a week and throughout the day – there are no exceptions.
Drivers who are parking the parking base are usually fined $ 115.
According to WABC-TV, last year, New York Police issued more than 635,000 calls for drivers who were stopping in front of the faucet pump.
This is 7 % of the previous year.
“The fire bureau has taken our decisive measures in the wake of the Bronx Multiple Fire in Bronx, and now we see the results,” Taker said in a statement.
“I hope this important fine will send a clear message to the New York residents: Do not prevent a fire.”
