When a fire is reported, the Police should help by clearing a route which is the closest to the fire location. This could include closing some roads, temporarily creating one way lanes etc. This will enable the fire engines to reach the location much quicker. In this instance, the fire engines were stuck in traffic, and were unable to move for long time. I hope some mechanism can be worked out between the Police and the respective Fire and Rescue stations.
