Jesse Bogan with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch tweeted comments by the fire chief, “St. Louis Fire Chief Dennis Jenkerson said protesters blocked fire trucks from responding to the 7-11 fire at Pine and 17th. A few laid down in the street, rolled trash cans in the way, he said. Neighbors from nearby apartment buildings upset, say no more late night snack runs.”
