I’d rather they used their truck and pushed it out of the way. But this is a good punishment too.

The penalty for blocking a fire hydrant is usually a ticket and/or tow. Destruction of or damage to the vehicle is not a legal penalty. The fire department will be liable for damages and the car owner may be liable only for the fine/tow fees.

I don’t blame the firemen at all for doing this. Even before driver’s ed. I remember having it taught that you don’t park in front of a fire hydrant. Typical jackass who couldn’t be bothered to find another parking spot when from what it appears he’s in suburbia which is definitely more parking space friendly than a city.

This is a total ripoff of the movie Backdraft. They made a point to smash the windows, so every fireman since has to do it. Well played Ron Howard.

Obviously you shouldn’t park in front of a hydrant, but me thinks the firefighters were being slightly vindictive for smashing the windows. The hose could’ve gone OVER the car, which a) would make it easier to maneuver and b) enable the car to be driven away and/or towed.

  Only if the hose is kinked, though, otherwise the pressure would be exactly the same.
