Inconsiderate drivers delaying fire engines
Fire engines are unable to get off the Droitwich fire station forecourt, because inconsiderate drivers are blocking the road, Hereford and Worcester Fire Service has said.
The fire station has warning lights outside it, similar to those seen at level crossings, but it said some drivers were ignoring them, slowing down response-times.

The fire service also said it was concerned there could be an accident involving one of its appliances, with more than 900 call outs from the station every year.
Station Commander Gareth Clarke warned: "Our fire appliances have cameras on board so can capture footage of cars which neglect to stop at the lights and that could be passed to the police."
