Description

There is a light blue Toyota with ct plate 416 FEU parked on Pearl st. They way it is parked blocked a fire truck from getting down the street. The firemen got out and rang door bells and blasted their horn. They never found the owner of that car, but several other folks moved their cars so that the truck could finally get through.

The police came and ran the plate. It is registered to a north Branford address. They decided not to tow, but did give a ticket for not having a residential permit. This person got off lucky.

Had this been an emergency, the time spent ringing bells would have wasted very precious moments in fighting a fire or providing life saving measures.

I know parking is challenging right now, but people need to be more considerate in how they park. This car's back end is sticking pretty far into the street.

If you know who owns this car, please share this with them.

In the meantime, I hope the city will consider removing snow on Pearl st. This was a real eye opener as to the consequences had there been a real emergency.
