The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) and the Bureau of Fire Protection have agreed to impose a P6,500 fine for illegally parking vehicles on roads that will be designated as fire lanes.

MMDA officer in charge Tim Orbos said the agreement, set to be signed today, would help ensure that emergency responders would not be caught in traffic.

The BFP has yet to release a list of the streets that will be classified as fire lanes, but Orbos on Wednesday said they would include Scout Bayoran and Scout Tobias streets in Quezon City. —Jovic Yee
