Those hoses can’t be bent because of the water flow.
Just like everything else in America. Performative, over the top and slow.
That hose would have been straighter going over the car.
Wouldn’t the glass cut up the hose, too?
It kind of looks like they bent the hose more to bring it through the window…
Yeah, definitely seems like that took more effort than the problem.
They should have done the right thing and gone around to get it set up asap… The beat the shit out of his car.
Yeah, it definitely would’ve been a more direct route draped across the hood.
I wonder why the video cut off just before they turned it on…
Probably because this made the hose kink and they had to disconnect it all and run it over the car instead while the people inside the building suffocated to death.
Agreed. They didn’t have to do that but I’m glad they did.
They do this all the time just to be dicks… It would’ve been safer and faster to just run it over the car … And this video should prove these specific individuals as liable for the damages.
Lmao, tell us you’re one of the dicks that park wherever you want without telling us
I park legally but that firefighter used the illegal parking as an excuse to deliberately delay aid to an emergency. The firefighter and the driver are both shitheads.
The car isn’t even parked in front of the hydrant and smashing the windows out accomplished absolutely nothing here as you can see the outlet they connected to is pointing toward the hood and bumper of the car and not the windows. You sound like the type of person who calls people “criminals” if they ever criticize the police for misconduct.
Dude, I’m with them. I clicked this for a justice boner, people that park in front of hydrants are selfish pricks, but the whole time I’m thinking “it would have been easier and faster to just go over the hood, or even under the front.” Every second counts and he wasted time breaking the windows and putting the hose through. It even looks like the hose has to bend more this way, I don’t know it that is enough to affect the flow rate, but it can’t help. And in the absence of a red curb (at least I don’t see one) it’s not unreasonable to think the area between the posts is the no parking area, and it looks like they’re outside of it. If they’re in it they’re barely in it. If I had to park that close, I would find another spot, but if I saw someone doing this I wouldn’t think as poorly of them as I would your average selfish parker.
More than one person can be an asshole.
If you call me whatever nasty name you can come up with to my face, you’re an asshole. If I then knock you out and give you permanent brain damage, it’s completely fair to call me an asshole too.
He wasted about two minutes in an emergency to do this. The guy illegally parked there, let the law enforcement handle it and do your job. He could have hooked it up and went literally any direction he wanted to without potentially damaging the hose on broken glass and wasting time doing so.
This looked like more work than just running the hose over the car. Seems like “everyone here sucks” type of situation.
is the car even illegally parked? no painted curb or signs in sight, and the car doesn’t seem to be overlapping with the hydrant at all.
Anything within 15ft is illegally parked
I’ve seen a car being towed/dragged out of an alley it was double parked in, so the fire brigade could gain access. They did NOT care how damaged it was in the process.
That seems like a legitimate reason to do so. There seemed to be absolutely no reason to do this in this specific situation though as it didn’t accomplish anything and actually made the angle of the hose much worse than it would have been using literally any other solution.
No warning lights on the car parked in an illegal spot? What an amateur
I hope the firefighter enjoyed doing that as much I enjoyed watching it
this happens all the time. I saw it in the 90s doing ride-alongs with med-star (ambulance company). it’s gonna dump a lot of water into the vehicle, too, because hoses get use, worn and leak. And every time I see it I feel a little bit of joy in my heart because fuck you, stop blocking hydrants you ghouls.
yea, totally blocked this hydrant. like… not at all as evident in the video.
Rules are rules, couldn’t care less about your car if that is you
Rules are rules? I totally agree. But deciding about punishment is, according to the rules, not the job of the fire fighters.
So it seems you are all all-in on “rules are rules” sometimes, but fine with “who cares about rules” at others?
something tells me you’ve never handled a pressurized hose before and should stfu and let genuine lifesavers do their fuckin work, you goddamn pogue
there’s always some assholes who think the rules shouldn’t apply to them. here we are.
Yep, and two of those are in the video!
and there’s one at your keyboard… fuck they’re everywhere
Smashing out the side windows to bend the hose more is a really bad look for these firefighters. They should have smashed the windshield and rear window for a straighter path to demonstrate their ability to apply logic over blatant aggression. If mapping out the most efficient route before smashing windows is too taxing, then they should smash all the windows to give immediate access to any arrangement; this would demonstrate efficiency and effectiveness.
Also, tossing those trash bags off to the side like that could have hit a bystander, further inflating their aggressive appearance. Furthermore, their new placement is a tripping hazard. Those should have been stored safely inside the car.
