That’s the Fire Marshall. They are the enforcement arm of fire services. Do you think there is a reason so few people die in fires and maybe its tied to a strong regulatory regime? Like make sure occupancy limits are respected and fire exits aren’t blocked?
You know how we make houses safer from fire? Fire Code and the IBC. Know how who enforces Fire Code? Fire Marshall.
And it’s not only fires that require emergency vehicle access. If an ambulance is called to your house, the FD needs to know they can actually get it there.
And what if there’s a utility outage and an excavator and crane are necessary? What if the street needs repair and a concrete truck has to get access? There’s all kinds of reasons large vehicles need to access homes.
And none of that makes the streets less-safe. It increases visibility and gives more maneuvering room in an emergency.
I don’t think the FD is responsible for the ambulance getting there. They are often the first responders because the locations are more distributed than ambulance dispatch.
Making sure city streets are wide as a highway lane is integral to fire safety, maybe if they narrowed streets they would be responding to fewer grisly car crashes
In America, the fire department chief (unelected) often sits on the committee to determine what the roads look like, they will often be the ones demanding the roads stay as wide as possible and have zero traffic calming. For fire safety.
My point was that they respond to way more car crashes than house fires, and are in position to influence that, and choose to make things less safe for everyone.
Wider roads make things more safe for everyone. Your ‘fuck cars’ bullshit is no different than all of the annoying stoners saying weed should be legal in conversations where that point is irrelevant.

we should make houses safer, AND prevent firefighters from interfering in housefires.

Are you high AF? You start off sane enough, but rapidly scatter into wtf territory in multiple irrational directions at once.
Maybe come back to this thought after a rest. 🤓
I was, this is how I solve problems:
Why’s it in Russian?
Because they’re likely a Russian troll

Found the guy driving a gender affirming vehicle
Nope, I drive a small truck because I do a lot of DIY projects and needed something to haul lumber in. It’s basically a hatchback with a short bed.
It’s comical parking next to gender affirming vehicles because it looks like a toy truck in comparison.
That’s cool, I prefer smaller trucks like that.
Wide roads suck ass for people walking, and are completely inappropriate inside residential areas.
