Snow Clogged Streets Difficult For Emergency Vehicles

Spokane Fire Department asks drivers to be mindful of how they park their cars on narrow residential streets with the extra amount of snow accumulation. It can be difficult, if not impossible, for emergency vehicles to reach a specific address if cars on both sides of the street are parked directly opposite one another. Try to stagger the parking in order to allow larger emergency vehicles adequate access in the neighborhoods. In addition, please help keep all neighborhood fire hydrants cleared of snow and ice.
