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.

Dumb asses ??? you never park in front of a fire hydrant
It sure was read your driver exam book do not block fire hydrants
If it was your house would you be pissed fire companies could not use the water supply
Yes. If you’re stupid enough to park by a hydrant – you get what you deserve.
..and that is intelligent reasoning?
It’s absolutely right to do that! I’m a member of a VFD, EMS, side. If I had to buse the window to help the firefighters I would do it too! People shouldn’t be that lazy and inconsiderate to park there!! What if it was their house on fire?!
Absolutely. People make their own rules and don’t respect others or the laws everyone else follow. That is the only way to properly get water flow through the fire hoses.
