DETROIT — A police car pulling up to the scene of a fire blocked Detroit firefighters from accessing a hydrant, as seen in footage posted online on Saturday.

The video shows firefighters using several air horn blasts to signal to the police officer to get back in his vehicle and move it.

Police responding to the scene on Saturday were concerned with reports of a man trapped in the upstairs portion of the residential structure with people downstairs shooting at him, according to STATter911.com.

No one was hurt in the incident, though several people were handcuffed, the YouTube video description said.
