Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service have issued a warning about parking after a fire engine nearly got stuck in a road.
A crew from the Fire and Rescue Service were out in Huntingdon carrying out safe and well visits when they came across cars that were "poorly parked", said a spokesperson for the service.
They said: "Luckily this crew wasn't on their way to an incident, but if they were, they would have faced many delays getting to their destination.
"These types of delays could have serious consequences for fire crews and those involved in an incident, so please think about how you're parking before you leave your car."
In April, Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service were delayed when they were responding to an incident in Peterborough due to bad parking.
A spokesperson said: "The average fire engine needs around three metres of clearance to safely travel along a road. Please consider this when you park and if in doubt find somewhere else to leave your vehicle."
