A Porsche driver has been reported to police after blocking the entrance to a fire station for a “wedding emergency”.
Aston Fire Station staff asked motorists to be “considerate” after the driver also blocked an emergency response vehicle on Tuesday night.
Staff at the station in Birmingham tweeted a picture of the white car parked at the entrance – labelling it “Poor judgment”.
We always ask that you please be considerate when parking your vehicle. However, not only has this vehicle parked right in front of the station, but it has also parked in front of an emergency response vehicle. @WMPolice have been informed. #Shocking pic.twitter.com/27OAy1vpjV

The owner of the vehicle blocking our station and our BRV has finally moved it, claiming that it was a "wedding" emergency.
