of motor vehicles or other obstructions may interfere with the ingress
and egress of Fire Department vehicles and the evacuation of persons
from buildings in the event of fire or other emergency.

Such fire lanes shall be of such width and shall be
so located as may reasonably be necessary or required for the protection
of persons and property in case of fire, explosion or other hazard.

If any person shall be aggrieved by the action of
the Fire Chief taken under this article, an appeal may be filed with
the Township Clerk.

A.
The parking of motor vehicles or otherwise obstructing
the established fire lanes shall be prohibited at all times.
