Reno Fire Department.....pedestrian hazards!

I know this issue is like beating a dead horse, but I'll post on it one more time.  RFD....do not park in no parking zones and block crosswalks views, you are going to get someone killed.  I mean seriously, all you need to do is follow the rules that apply to everyone else and we can save you one more roll out.  You'd think at the very least these guys could car pool given the "dire straights" their budget is always in (there are 5 vehicles today and 4 on a regular basis).

If you know a Reno Firefighter you might mention to them this isn't helping their image in town.


Here's my gripe.  No car traveling north on center can see past these large vehicles to know if a pedestrian is coming out in the crosswalk.  Above the Center and First crosswalk is obscured and below the bike path is obscured.  There's a reason these are no parking zones!


Just so you guys don't think I'm a public servant hatter (I'm definitely not)....notice RPD seems to get it and has parked in the "ice rink" parking lot.  Please note there is plenty of room for the RFD guys in this same parking area (and it won't hurt their response time).
