Jim's car is parked in front of his home. The house is located on a dead-end street. The house belonging to Jim's neighbor catches fire

When the fire truck arrives it cannot get to the burning house because Jim's car is taking up most of the narrow street. The fire chief asks Jim to move his car. Jim says, "Why should I? I am lawfully parked and my neighbor's house is a rat's nest. Let it burn." Jim is committing no offense by refusing the fire chief's request.
