63. “Emergency equipment will not be able to reach some locations because of traffic jams. Tow trucks will be at a premium. Parked or abandoned vehicles will block streets, and emergency responders will be the worst offenders.”
COMMENT: I like to think that Lt. Blackston is wrong when he says “emergency responders will be the worst offenders”. Let’s all make sure that he IS wrong. Be careful where you park your rig. Be sure it is out of the way and in a safe place. And don’t park where you may get blocked in. If you don’t know where to park...ask someone. Oh yes, lock your vehicle. Thieves are often out looking for an easy rip-off during emergency operations. Have an extra set of keys to your vehicle and entrust them to a friend or hide them somewhere in case you loose yours. Suggest that your keys be kept on a chain that is attached to your belt.
