Require the diversion of so great a number of ambulances as to prevent normal ambulance service to portions of this city other than that to be occupied by the proposed line of march and areas contiguous thereto;

d.

Interfere with the movement of firefighting equipment en route to a fire;

e.

Be reasonably likely to cause injury to persons or property, to provoke disorderly conduct or create a disturbance;
