A fire engine and ambulance were among the vehicles caught in a blockade by Just Stop Oil protesters in west London which the government has said is "unacceptable".
Videos shared online showed the emergency vehicles on blue lights unable to get through the traffic after around 32 protesters blocked three roads in Knightsbridge and Brompton Road.
The protesters stopped traffic from travelling in either direction, with some gluing themselves to the asphalt.
One video showed a stationary fire engine in the middle of a junction near Knightsbridge Underground station, with protesters blocking both the road behind and in front of it.
Just Stop Oil later tweeted a video showing protesters moving out of the way of a fire engine with the caption: "Just Stop Oil supporters pause roadblock to let fire engine through."
A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: "An appliance from Kensington Fire Station was temporarily stopped by a road block and arrived within 14 minutes of being called."
This is the group's 11th consecutive day of disruption in London with protesters demanding the government halt all new oil and gas licences and consents.

Toyota waking up, but still has a long way to go. no-one should be forced to buy EVs, or pay taxes in order for others to buy them:
12 Oct: Daily Mail: Frustrated Toyota boss LOSES it at ‘electric car extremists’ in rare interview after the company ranked last on an environment report
Toyota marketing boss Sean Hanley was giving a speech in Sydney this week
At the end of the presentation he was questioned about electric vehicles
In a rare frustrated rant he took aim at critics of Toyota’s hybrid technologies
By BRETT LACKEY FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA
One of Toyota Australia’s most senior executives has let fly at ‘electric car extremists’ in a rare speech, arguing their tunnel vision risks other beneficial technologies being ignored...
Mr Hanley argued that to get to net-zero emissions every motorist needed to be on board and that the current market was demanding more options than just battery-electric vehicles.
He said by 2030, every Toyota would have some form of electrification but there would be other options on top of battery-only powered cars - including hybrid-electric, fuel-cell electric, and plug-in hybrid models - that would also be significantly cleaner for the environment...

Its absolutely AMAZING people still tolerate these lunatics.
They are looking at energy prices so high it is bankrupting lots of small businesses. The high energy prices are wrecking their entire economies. The high energy prices are causing many to worry about whether or not they’ll even have heating this Winter.
And these Gaia worshiping idiots are out there pushing to drive energy prices even higher???? Clearly, they need their teeth folded back. I’m surprised there aren’t millions of volunteers to do exactly that anytime they show up. They CAUSED THIS.
A London Fire Brigade spokesperson said: “An appliance from Kensington Fire Station was temporarily stopped by a road block and arrived within 14 minutes of being called.”
“Burnt toast....”
If they were protesting against transgenderism, they would have been machinegunned.
“Its absolutely AMAZING people still tolerate these lunatics.”
Just a matter of time until they have tire tracks on their backs. Then and only then will the lunacy stop.
Junk science indeed. Ever notice how they do not try to educate us about climate change. They say it is real and exists and we are suppose to go along with it. We are suppose to change our whole way of life and go back to the Stone Age because someone says so? However if election fraud is brought up by anyone , backed by sound testimony, numbers, etc., that is called unfounded unproven, or the big lie. I notice Florida is rebuilding with transformers, electrical poles. Why aren’t they rebuilding with wind mills and solar? I would think this would be an opportune time to do that.
Just Stop Green Energy.
Sounds like they should add a snow plow to the front of ambulances like they do in some American cities to garbage trucks. After all the rubbish must be removed.
Or clear a path with auto weapons fire or flame throwers.
These anti fuel dopes want an example of what happens with no energy? Show them what is going on in Ukraine as the ruskies are destroying the electric grid and related infrastructure.
They should install wood chippers on the front of the Emergency vehicles.
Send in the Scoops!
While it may be too soon for Solent Green, there is a fertilizer shortage.
It’s how lemmings operate no thinking required
