Firefighters rushed to a pre-dawn blaze, a fire at a vacant house was extinguished and nobody was injured. Overall, the response by Pennsauken crews could be considered a success.
There’s just one thing: Did they have to break two windows on an illegally-parked car to douse the fire?
“This person made the conscious decision to park in front of the fire hydrant. Windows can be replaced; people cannot,” Pennsauken fire Chief Jospeh Palumbo said.

Is this REALLY a question that deserves asking? There are laws for those with no common sense. Get a clue from your drivers education book!
Clifford Cernek says
Ever try and bend a 5′ supply line? Didn’t think so – perfectly justified.
Nigel Gunn says
It’s, at most, a 5″ line, not a 5′ line.

I can’t even believe you would be dumb enough to write a stupid ass liberal article like this, and your editor allowing you to be that stupid!!

Why does this question even need to be asked? It’s a fire and the crew needs water. There is no time to “push out of way” and even if possible a ton more expensive. I hope the PD ticketed the car too
Larry Niekamp says
When you roll up on scene that persons one job is to get the water supply established, not worry about some narcissistic ass. After completion of overhaul they should have had the car impounded
