The City of Merced Fire Department of California went viral in 2013, not because of the fire it successfully put out, but for its necessary “hosing” technique.An “idiot” driver blocked a hydrant and left his or her car sitting in front of a business. With the car sitting there, someone’s life was potentially at risk, should a fire break out.
It doesn’t matter how expensive a car is, firefighters are forced to “hose” cars if necessary!
Here’s a powerful reminder to never park your car in front of a hydrant.
