Firefighters smash car windows to run hose to hydrant

I have no real issues with this, although it was clearly a statement made by the firemen, as they could have gone either over the car or even under the car easier and faster than busting out the windows.
I still side with the firemen.

HAMILTON, NJ (RNN) – Some lessons are more expensive than others. Firefighters smashed out two windows in a gray Acura this week so they could get to a fire hydrant the car was blocking. “This is what happens when you park in front of a hydrant,” the Hamilton Township Professional Firefighters said on Facebook. “Reminder, it is against the law to park in front of a fire hydrant.”

It’s not about ease or speed.

Old Acura, no big loss here.

From that top picture looks like it's barely able to go through the window without being kinked.

Car is too close to the hydrant to go over or under without crimping the hose.

Guess that a-hole shouldn't have parked so close to the hydrant.

They should light the car on fire when they're done.
ETA "oh I'm sorry sir/ma'am we can't put the fire out... you're really close to the hydrant we can't connect the hose"

I think they had a pretty legit case for pushing the car out of the way bulldozer-style....

Hopefully the cops left a fat arse ticket on their windshield too.

I wish they would have used the jaws of life to pry open the doors for a more level hose. That would have been a much better lesson taught.

Looks pretty obvious to me that it would have been more difficult to try and attach the hose from over or under, if even possible.

I’ve heard this is common in New York City

You know those fricks just live for that.

Corner of Norway and Roland. Who gets that obscure pop culture reference?

If I was the victim of the fire, I would file a civil suit against the car owner for delayed response time of the firefighters causing extra physical and emotional damage
frick people that do that

I was a Volunteer Fireman for several years and can vouch for this statement.

Gonna disagree. Not a fireman but I think you’d kink the hose going over and damage the hose going under. Probably the only way to do it is go through.

Considering it's illegal to park like that literally everywhere in the USA, I don't have an issue at all.

I have no problem with it. Well done.
