Well, if your son parked in a fire lane the car should have been towed. We're not talking about parking in a 'no parking' area. We're talking about something relevant to life safety. It may suck that you had to go pick up your son at 4:00 in the morning, but HE is the one responsible for that--not the tow company.
BTW I totally agree that there are some towing companies that have questionable ethics, but from your description of the incident it is your son's responsibility.
