In a critical firefighting situation in the Bronx, a driver parked too close to a fire hydrant, obstructing access. Firefighters had to smash the vehicle's windows and run a hose through it to reach water needed to combat a blaze engulfing multiple businesses. Online reactions were mixed, with some supporting the actions of the firefighters for ensuring safety, while others criticized the approach, deeming it unnecessary. The incident emphasized the importance of keeping fire hydrants clear for emergency responses.
When fighting a fire, every second counts. That's why it's so important that fire hydrants are left unobstructed, to allow for fire crews to have immediate access.
Your convenience isn't worth delaying a vital rescue operation.
Water speed and pressure need straight lines, not angles - this is the reason why the car shouldn't be there.
The water pressure is high from a fire hydrant, the tube needs to be stable and can't be in front of the car.
