With 30 years of driving all types of fire apparatus, my pet peeve was when pulling up to the scene, the LEO car is right in front blocking our easy access. Another aggravation involved drivers not yielding to the truck as we pulled out of the station. I had to pull out slowly with lights, siren and air horn. Most would not yield unless I completely blocked the road. As far as firefighters dealing with a citizen's car parked in a fire zone, we would never "deal" with it other than with polite discretion.
