Snow Covered Streets May Delay Emergency Vehicles | News

If it's hard for drivers to get through snow covered streets, it's even more difficult for emergency vehicles. Early Sunday morning a fire truck got stuck in the snow while responding to a deadly house fire.

Firefighters and paramedics say they can get through most of the main roads now, but firefighters say their engines still can't get through many of the side streets.

They say that may mean longer response times in an emergency.  Emergency workers are asking people to clear their sidewalks and driveways so paramedics and firefighters have a clear path to their houses.
