State Duma Deputy Sergei Kolunov suggested that firefighters be allowed to crash into cars that block the entrance of burning objects. In this respect informs RIA Novosti about the deputy’s letter to the Russian government.
“Such drivers must understand that they have no right to block the passage of fire trucks and endanger the lives and health of those living in houses adjacent to the road. If they do not come to their senses, they will have to pay in rubles – a fine is provided for blocking the passage of fire trucks, and payment for the repair of their cars, ”said Kolunov.
According to him, fire trucks can now crash into cars, as the law includes the phrase “emergency”. In fact, this does not happen because firefighters fear legal consequences.
The deputy proposed equipping fire trucks with electric bumpers, with which it would be possible to crash into cars that prevent the passage to the fire. This design will also protect special equipment from damage.
