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.

What do you think? Take our poll and sound off in the comments section below.
Here goes how many get away w parking illegally but when push comes to shove I’m happy that priority is to save lives first..,after that I woulda also towed the SUV away and add max fines too
When it’s parked ILLEGALLY in front of a fire hydrant? Why even ask the question? It only encourages ignorant, entitled morons to think that there are times that it’s ok.
could have gone under it a lot easier and been able to tow it away,,, this was just attitude because it was illegally parked.
Yes. And then tow if afterwards. People these days drive and think they own the road and can do whatever they want to
I agree 100% with the fire department for what they did they did what they had to do to put the fire out what would have happened if the fire was at the home of where the owner of the SUV lived or was staying at as a former first responder and the daughter of a former firefighter I I know what the firemen go thru and what they have to do, windows can be replaced lives can not.
