Firemen's revenge ....

Do you know how many people do this? I have no sympathy for this driver. My husband would have done a lot worse to the car than they did. He probably would have walked across the roof with all his gear on - several times.

 

Actually, most of the ones i've seen aren't painted yellow, only when you're downtown do you tend to see that. If he was just on a busy street in suburbia, there's a chance it wasn't yellow. But that doesn't excuse his actions.

I agree with Neicy - a lot more should have been done to this idiot's car "Opps, the hose came on while it was in the car!"

But then again, you can see a sign post right next to the car. You can't see the sign, but I bet it would be a No Parking sign.

 

Yellow curb is not necessary. "No Parking" sign is not necessary. Everyone knows it is illegal, selfish, and dangerous to park next to a fire hydrant.

On the other hand, if the fire fighters had done more damage than necessary to the car, the owner probably could have sued them.

But I hope the car got impounded and the owner got a really hefty fine and community service cleaning up the trash on several miles of highway for a year for his crime. Blocking a hydrant could endanger people's lives if it prevented access to the hydrant in case of a fire.

 

So, they put a dry firehose through two broken windows. Not much damage yet. Just wait until they disconnect it and pull it out with water running out of it!
