That doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be easy to toss a hose through it without delaying the fire response.

Hydraulic cutters are slow AF and they're not going to remove bulk material that is in the way.

The whole point is it's done when it's NOT actually an emergency; they just do it because it's parked wrong.

I'd prefer my local fire department keep their staff and equipment available for emergency use, not for parking enforcement.
