Knoxville, TN (WOKI) The Knoxville Fire Department explained the difficulty of maneuvering fire trucks when drivers park in illegal spaces, notably in the Fort Sanders area.
KFD is reminding drivers that they must always park in official parking spots, even when parking is tight while school is in session.
The department shared photos via social media from the Fort Sanders area of vehicles parked inside the yellow lines, which are designated as No Parking Zones.
“This makes it next to impossible for our firetrucks to make these turns in a timely and efficient manner,” KFD said on social media.
City code says illegal parking can result in a monetary fine.
