Park near a hydrant and find out. Calling the one service that actually helps douchebags is a real good way to loose your shit when a fire starts and they show up late. Genius post.

"near"?
Most states you have to park at least 15 fert away from any hydrant. This is far too close, they are WELL within their right to bust windows, or flatten your car to get to the hydrant. Usually they ram the car out of the way. And its all on the owner for not following a basic law.
All that being said this is an AI image, and was likely just bait or the poster didnt know and had a bad day with the firefighters. Who knows.
~~3~~ 15 feet away is insane, I'd expect at minimum a clearly visible marking on the street. Where I live, the hydrants aren't even visible, just small iron plates in the ground; never heard about any issues with firetrucks accessing water.
3 feet away
I clearly said 15 feet. Wtf?
Also, they almost always are, there are a ton of regulations on how visible they must be, and usually include yellow marking on the curb where you must not ever park.
the hydrants aren't even visible, just small iron plates in the ground.
Sounds dangerous, and I'm certain there have been problems you just haven't heard of them. People don't pay attention, and something invisible is getting parked on. Car brains and all.
And lose it, too.
AH-AH-AH-AH-AH!
I can't see the comment, what did it say? Lol
It's an image of ~~Marshall Mathers~~ ~~Eminem~~ Slim Shady from the music video for Just Lose It.
Oh lol
What is this confusing AI nonsense? Eww
Had to be. I couldn't imagine this IRL.
The first picture has a tree growing out of concrete, then placed in a grass patch in the next picture so...
Nah. This is BS. They'd do the first one. When they've done this, the car was parked right next to the hydrant. Even if it is real, FAFO.
Don't park within 3 meters of a hydrant. This is on you
This exact thing happened in the movie Backdraft(1991). Fire fighters have been doing this for many decades there is a reason it’s illegal to park near hydrants. On top of the broken windows you can almost guarantee a parking ticket in the mail a few days later.
I agree with the other commenter this particular instance is likely bogus. The angle of the hose is too extreme near the truck for the last two. The first picture would have the best flow through the hose. When they put water through it though it’s gonna be up against or on top of the hood of that car.
I hope this is from the training manual.
They're going to "total" that car when they find out what happened.
