An East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service spokesman added that it could not be confirmed who would be liable for the damage to the vehicles as it would be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

WRONG... if the car was legally parked then Trumpton do not have the right to damage it and claim it was the car drivers fault, the council are to blame here but ESFR will foot the bill

But if the fire service cant get through, then they have powers to force their way through. The woman would likley to have died had they not. What is more important, a BMW 320's wing mirrors, or a womans life? I'm sure the fire service will foot the bill, but it isnt right. It will still come out of our council tax money."
