Cities: Skyline services going to the wrong districts

Cities: Skyline services going to the wrong districts - Modern Downtown Buildings near Water

I have a city divided into several districts.
The districts are interconnected with subways and highways.
Each districts supplies its own power, and has its own services.

However, some of the services have started going to the wrong, distant, districts.
Most notably, my fire-department seems obsessed with letting firetrucks from a district that's geographically close but a long drive away deal with their fires.

I added a screenshot with an example firehouse, and a frequently burned down building. Example District

I don't understand the behavior, upon placing the firehouse it does seem to reach the house, however it has two firehouses much closer.
This also has the added downside that these houses seem to be high in Fire Hazard despite having two nearby firehouses.
And as an additional downside, firetrucks and garbage trucks crossing districts is causing unneeded load on my district connections.

So, to recap, my questions are:

  1. What causes this behavior?
  2. How can I prevent it from happening?
