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.

As a former firefighter, I FULLY support smashing the windows……maybe next time the fool will remember what happened and not block the hydrant!!!!
Have you ever pulled up on a fire with people inside, and cant get to the hydrant??? Yes whatever you have to do!!!
I will say this. “Lessons learned the hard way are never forgotten.” Bet they will never block a fire hydrant again.
Better their windows than my house or my families lives.
Could they have gone under the car,? idk anything about fighting fires but was just wondering?
