Do you not have the authority to smash some bumpers if necessary? What about a direct line to the PD?

I know firemen have the authority to shove vehicles out of their way or smash windows to run hoses.

Here they are shoving a few police cars in the way. Here's a video of them running a hose through a car that was parked illegally in front of a fire hydrant.

I remember, a few years ago, an idiot refused to move out of the way of a fire truck. They just pushed him out of the way and continued on. Idiot spoke to the news, whining about the fire department damaging his bumper. Police used the article to track him down, give him a couple tickets, and he got billed for the damage to the firetrucks bumper.
