- Firefighters in one California city have come under attack for sharing a photo to social media showing a car that was illegally parked next to a fire hydrant and had its windows smashed out.

Definitely would NOT be “lowlife firefighters” if it was YOUR family in that burning building.
It sounded so funny to me "lowlife firefighters", its like saying "hot icecream" or "hes fast slow"
He also simply assumes the fire hose can bend at the angles to go around or above the car, which it can't and may have actually damaged the car more than just a broken window from the pressure of it trying to straighten.
Facts. People are just plain STUPID!
@Queue Kumber this is a weird way to troll but okay, you do you.
@@bcarben93 If he's not trolling I would LOVE to see the court proceedings on that case.
"They had no right to put out the fire I started that threatened my life!"
"So you're saying that you set the fire and now want to sue the fight department for doing their job?"
"Well. . . YEAH!"
"For one, you can't sure then for that, so I'm throwing this case out. For two, Bailiff, arrest this idiot for Arson."
Imagine getting angry at firefighters for doing their job
Imagine being stupid and thinking your're funny.

I am a retired firefighter and I did this to a vechicle one time. He called the police and promptly got himself a ticket.
This makes me happy. Thank you.
Amazing story 🫡
It's hilarious how karens will call the police on themselves like the tools they are😂.
lol
"They wouldn't have gotten away with it if it was my car"
Yeah, I'm sure you could have won a brawl with several angry firemen.
I am a retired volunteer firefighter you need to understand that a fire truck only holds about 500 gallons of water. When the hoses are fully charged they will empty the truck in less than 2 minutes. Any bend in the hose will block the flow pressure by 50% and people will die and property will be destroyed. You are illegally parked they will break your windows then you will get a ticket for illegal parking and your vehicle will be towed. It’s not the fire department’s fault that you parked illegally
Yup you win the dumbass award!
Based off his picture he doesn't look like he goes outside much. Probably forgot that playing fighting video games doesn't make you a badass in real life.
Why are the firemen angry?
Like that guy even owns a car.
“The lowlife firefighters”
That guy is the definition of a keyboard warrior
Amen to that. Amazing what kind of crap people will spew out online.
Look at his profile picture. He's the lowlife.
Firefighters are not lowlife if you say they are then in actuality you are. Its your own fault if you wanna park in front of a fire hydrant. Don’t disrespect the people that one day you’ll need help from.
@@justinhopper5941 I believe that was a statement not a response to you, just saying.
Part of me hopes his local fire dept. knocks on his door and offers to give him a ride along for the day. Firefighters deserve a lot of respect. They run towards problems and usually help people on the worst day of their lives.
"8 people burned alive....but a car window was saved, more at 11."

We will get to that point unfortunately
I wouldn't be surprised! This is a Soros channel.

Way to go, Firefighters! Your job is dangerous and difficult enough without inconsiderate People getting in your way!
"They wouldn't have gotten away with it had it been my car."
Yes they would lol.
Xd
R/iamverybadass
lol dont f*ck with firefighters...
Assault on a first responder is a minimum 2yrs in prison. So yes.. they will get away with it.
@pete w honestly. But some people are so self absorbed that they care about their car more than human lives.
It’s someone’s life, or your stupid window.this shouldn’t be an issue. Don’t try to justify parking in red.
I agree. Everything is an issue these days and the world just keeps going to shit.
That's literally a no park zone what did the bitchboi/girl think the red was there for?
This whole story is manufactured outrage. The upvotes are 98%. There is no backlash. No flood of complaints against the firefighters for doing their job. There are always some idiots and cranks who will disagree with anything. So CBS Sacramento went and found some to present here and get clicks and views. Who cares if a few % of the population are contrarian fools. It isn't news.
I would write them a ticket and make them pay to fix their own windows. It is their own ignorance!! They won't do that shit again.
Very nice job to the Firefighters.. Bravo Bravo. I bet that Idiot will not be parking next to no Hydrant. They should do something similar for people who illegally parks in the Handicap Zone also.
I love the run the hose over the car argument cause it shows 2 things:
1. You didn't go to school to realize that it reduced pressure due to the hose being bent
2. This could theoretically cause even more damage to the car as the pressure could potentially be so high that it the car to bend
This is exactly what is SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN
No justification needed. Don't park in front of a hydrant. The red curb isn't there for kicks and giggles
What? I specifically use that curb, for kicking and giggling.
The fucks wrong with you?😕
@Cera Phimm If it's not red that means the City could be sued for damages. You may wanna warn your mayor about that.
@Cera Phimm Umm city counsels exist. If you don't care about your local community that's fine let the city be sued.
@@WalrusWinking The curb doesn't have to be marked. Idk who lied to you
@Cera Phimm park there then sue them when it happens 2 you 😂😂😂
"They wouldn't have gotten away with doing it to my car"
Yes. Yes they would have.
And probably get fined too
It’s probably some computer bound keyboard warrior who posted that..
They will never do that to my car!
@@mrsatire9475 yeah they won’t if you don’t park on the red zone and follow the laws.
@@davidth.o.g.2229 In my country there is a hefty fine for this, plus the insurance will not pay for the windows or any other damage. I think that in some cases they can revoke the drivers license too.
Everyone knows not to block a fire hydrant. We had a serious house fire. I’m glad no one blocked it. I’m glad they made an example of the selfish driver.
They shouldn't have to defend anything. All they did was prove that stupid people shouldn't drive.
That car was illegally parked. So the fire department did the right thing
@Matthew Madruga But the fire hydrant is clearly visible, they shouldn't have parked there and in no way is this abuse of power dumbass
@Matthew Madruga it's the law dumbass if u don't want your car damage follow the law.
@Matthew Madruga It is against the law dumbass.
@Matthew Madruga
"22514.
No person shall stop, park, or leave standing any vehicle within 15 feet of a fire hydrant except as follows:
(a) If the vehicle is attended by a licensed driver who is seated in the front seat and who can immediately move such vehicle in case of necessity.
(b) If the local authority adopts an ordinance or resolution reducing that distance. If the distance is less than 10 feet total length when measured along the curb or edge of the street, the distance shall be indicated by signs or markings.
(c) If the vehicle is owned or operated by a fire department and is clearly marked as a fire department vehicle."
What's that supposed to mean then? It's taken directly from the California legislative information website. leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=VEH§ionNum=22514.#:~:text=22514.,fire%20hydrant%20except%20as%20follows%3A&text=If%20the%20distance%20is%20less,indicated%20by%20signs%20or%20markings.
@Matthew Madruga Your so dense its not worth explaining to you how stupid your comment is. Sad.
"showing a car that was illegally parked next to a fire hydrant"
*ILLEGALLY PARKED* end of story!
Laws are only being selectively enforced now, so no one is taking them seriously.
The PD should have impounded it after the fire was out.
Exactly
I mean I've firefighters used to clip the breaks and push a car out of the way. Whatever happens to the car is on the owner. Love that idiot saying if it was his car they wouldn't have gotten away with it. Yeah they would. You broke the law, firefighters didn't.
Lmao if people are as good with reading as you these things wouldn’t happened.
To the "they wouldn't get away with it if it were my car" guy...what if it were your house on fire? Would you let someone get away with impeding firefighter efforts? That anyone would be that stupid is honestly frightening
The problem is, penalties for parking in front of a fire hydrant aren't severe enough.
There's nothing to defend. Parking infront a hydrant is illegal.
when's the last time you had your windows smashed by a parking enforcement officer?
@@billmoyer3254 when i hit one with my car.
@@billmoyer3254 it's literally the law. I'd love to see table spin on every one too stupid to understand why it's a law.. Since they're Stupid. I'll explain. Meaning, the "too stupid"s house burns down , and children or pets lives gone. Because the fire department or law enforcement officer didn't want to bust a window, illegally parked car
@@TSCtheTHC "Alright folks, we can't put out the fire because the hydrant is blocked by some Prius. Lets go back home, we did all we can, job well done."
So are millions of illegals which have totally made California a crime ridden shithole but where's the outrage?
if you park infront of a hydrant and there is a fire, your car is fair game.
Yeah, then when parking enforcement or cops cite people for parking in front of a fire hydrant they pitch the worlds biggest bitch, call the cops names, complain they should be stopping real criminals etc.
Exactly
@Alexzander Smith remember the day when we used to take a sledgehammer to these cars to win prizes? That should happen to these princesses who think they are above the law and choose to park where ever they want
@Just the real news there are cars in front of this car, that is not possible in this case scenario and is not safe
1000%
And what did we learn kids? You’ve been told don’t block the fire hydrant. Now you learn the hard way.
Love it as a 21 year retired firefighter this has always been a problem. GOOD JOB
The firefighters shouldn't even have had to explain themselves. What the hell.
It's better to explain and educate people, despite how annoying it can get to repeat yourself.
Actually, their goal was to educate people and to be honest i didn't know why they couldn't go around the car, now i do.
So explaining themselves is actually very good in my opinion.
Some ppl just never used a hose before apparently, and never learned that kinks in a hose blocks water pressure. How they didn't know this is beyond me, but apparently they don't.
@@mandude7358 I think the issue is the water pressure and size of fire hose is not something most folks have experienced.
@@Flipper86 yes. In an fire emergency, you need really high water pressure so that the water can reach really high and far into the burning building
8 people got out safe and only two windows were broken. Sounds like a miracle
Take that deal anyday

@@phantomski1 had us in the first half ngl
@@phantomski1 Dark AF but absolutely not wrong.
The solution is quite simple:
DON'T PARK IN FRONT OF A FIRE HYDRANT.
It takes a true narcissist to park in front of a fire hydrant, and then get mad at the firefighters for trying to save people's lives, because you're too self-absorbed to park somewhere else.
I not only don't have a problem with it, but I applaud those firemen.
If you're dumb--or entitled--enough to think you can park IN FRONT OF A FIRE HYDRANT, you and you car deserve exactly what they give you.
Better your wheels than someone else's life.
The curb is red for a reason. It doesn’t change colors because you’re “only there for 2 minutes”. It’s still red. Don’t. Park. There.
in California you allowed to park there *IF* your inside the car (and no other sign posted).... Not all fire hydrant curbs are painted red...
@@punker4Real well they weren’t in the car
No, it changes colors based on what city you live in. In Chicago, it’s yellow, if they paint the curb at all. I live in a neighboring city, and they do not paint the curb anything. Until today, I had no idea other places paint the curb red.
Maybe the main concern should not about the colour it was painted of, but check where you park, and if there's is an hydrant beside your car, do not park there, no matter what colour the kerb is painted of...
@punker not for real the law States and constitutes firefighter have the authority and means necessary in case of emergency
i'm proud of all the people sticking up for the firefighters.
@FedEXfright how are they boasting they did it to educate they said that in the video
@FedEXfright dude shut up
@FedEXfright they deserved it you pathetic snowflake.
@FedEXfright Do you represent Fed Ex with that comment?
lol I'm just amused at anybody who DOESNT support the firefighters in this situation... i won't even call it a debate lol
move your funkin car dude 🤣🤣
Anyone who parks in a fire hydrant should be fined $25,000.
Actually these people should have their license pulled as well as their right to own a vehicle.
I applaud the firefighters for removing that piece of garbage in the street. It was an eyesore.
I don’t get why they have to justify this? This fool shouldn’t have parked there, it’s illegal & ignorant. No debate, no reason to justify. Good job fireys!
Suppose their homes were on fire, and the firefighters couldn't put out the fire because a car was blocking the fire hydrant? Their attitudes would be different.
Yeah man it was illegal parked but it shouldn’t destroy his property, get a ticket move on
@@jercan7716 ...the windows were broken to save someone else's property from being destroyed lol try again
@@jercan7716 a ticket? The whole point of the no parking area is that it needs to be clear. If it isn’t clear, and they need the hydrant, it will become clear. Without consideration of the car, and rightly so.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
@@jercan7716 bud when people's lives are on the line you don't just "ticket the car and work around it"
if you watched the video they said that there is very little time to act so they had to do what they had to do to put the fire out
That first dude saying “they wouldn’t get away with it if it was my car” is *definitely* the type of person to park in front of a fire hydrant
@Bob Saget no Karen they can't do that. The pressure of the water would be cut by up to 30%
@Bob Saget they wanna put out the fire as quick as possible. That's not the time to debate ideas. Maybe it'll work, maybe it won't. Do they wanna risk the lives of people to test that hypothesis? No they won't.
@Bob Saget stop parking in front of fire hydrants
Right! They probably park right next to stop signs as well
@Bob Saget how is that gonna work? lol, logic dictates that that will severely impact the water pressure and maneuverability.
The more and sharper turns in the hose, the less water pressure you'll have at the other end, you need to keep the hose as straight as possible. Driver is lucky to have only two windows taken out.
This is pretty standard knowledge
The only people who are against this are the people who would park in the red zone...
Same thing for red light cameras. The people against them are the ones running the red light.............
It's literally common fucking sense tf
@@jeffreydavidconner it’s like the same people who get mad at the police for enforcing the law after they break it
“The red zone is for loading and unloading only”
“No the White zone ....

@@hexagonist23 then you would know that parking there is illegal
@@lolz8bit You know what else is illegal? Arson, damaging peoples property, and not even feeling bad for it. These specific firefighters are obviously sociopaths. I think they need a mental evaluation.
This is literally what I was told from the time I was a child could easily happen if I parked in front of a hydrant. To get mad at them is just stupidity at its finest.
As well as arrogamce.
Growing up I remmeber my mom always telling me about how you need to be careful where you park as this could happen. Since then when I started learning how to drive to even now, I always have an expectation that if I park infront of a hydrant, the fire department will have full justification to smash my windows to get a hose to it and there would be no reason for me to be mad other than at myself for being stupid.
Just realized I've never parked my car in front of a hydrant in my life. Never had to think about it because literally, it's the essence of common sense.
What's that, some kind of food? But in all seriousness... "common sense" is becoming far less "common", anymore. I know people at work who back out of parking spaces ON FORKLIFTS, who don't bother looking to see if anyone's behind them. A forklift weighs more than your car, what do you think's going to happen if you hit someone with it because you're not paying attention. I've also hit people because they weren't paying attention... and they get upset with me, when they backed into me, who wasn't moving or tried to swerve out of the way.
@John Doe Was making a joke because they were talking about "common sense", since that's becoming less and less common.
@@Ruby150 It's only going to get worse with sleepy Joe at the wheel.
I agree!! Or LITTERED. Or stolen...
You get a ticket so fast where I live so no one does it
So if the person got their windows broken, did they also get a parking ticket for parking next to a fire hydrant? I sure hope so.
Me, too. Thanks for suggesting it.
They could take off in the car before the cops get there, just floor the gas to pull the hose off 🤣
Yep. I think 50$ ticket.
Also what if it was their house the Firefighters were trying to put out , with their wife, kids and pets inside (not that it was but could have been) and you hindered the Fire Service! 🤔
@@vintageexcellence You're a special kind of stupid aren't you. Hydrant pressure requires locking hoses. Good luck. You're not moving til they pull out the hose.
Very well done.
Do not ever hesitate.
Proud of them
If they had to go through the trouble of fitting a hose through my car because of my stupidity of parking in front of emergency equipment, my first thing out of my mouth would be an apology to the fire fighters for making their jobs harder and potentially endangering people. It’s insane how unhinged some people are.
I've seen a video of a real entitled d*ck blocking a fire truck somewhere in France. He wouldn't move over for the fire truck and its sirens screeching and lights were flashing. The driver backed up a few feet and RAMMED him. When people had the nerve (WHY???) to defend the d*ck, several pointed out that what the fire truck driver did was 100% legal because his lights/sirens were on so the driver was required by law to move his ugly butt out of the way.

Everyone knows it's illegal to park in front of a fire hygiene. Either people are too stupid to check whether it is okay to park before getting out of their vehicle or so entitled to think they can park there anyway, and in both those cases they deserve what's coming to them. Good people accept accountability for their errors. These people are lucky they just got off with broken windows, they could have massive fines too.

I love how, yet again, the person breaking the law is somehow perceived as the victim. When did personal responsibility become a bad thing in this country?
Sad thing is that it is becoming the norm.
I don’t live in the states so I may be wrong in saying this, but it’s definitely a similar situation you’d get here in the UK. I think an element of it is that people are incapable of taking responsibility for their wrongdoings, and heaven forbid if they ever needed to say “sorry”. So, rather than accepting their mistake and rectifying it, they try to shift the blame onto someone else.
(e.g. “yeah I know I did this thing, but THEY did a worse thing look” and pointing fingers at the firemen instead)
It’s really tragic that people have become like this. It’s not everyone of course, but it’s a high enough percentage for it to be a real problem.
@@Lizzie-uf3dt You are exactly right! The media and establishment politicians (dems and rinos) have created this narrative that no one is responsible for their actions....unless of course it is someone who goes against THEIR narrative. Suddenly criminals are the victims and not held accountable. Law abiding citizens demanding our freedom are labeled terrorists. They make these grand proclamations "my body, my choice" but then backpedal when it is used for something they disagree with. They said to always believe the women who made claims of sexual harassment. They were perfectly OK with destroying someone else's life, with zero proof of wrongdoing, until the claims were against someone they supported. They scream at us to wear masks and get a shot, but applaud the very man that killed hundreds by putting the sick in nursing homes. And we wonder why people have a personal responsibility problem.

@@AAAA-nv5cf Consider this, you don't have a netflix account and you pirate shows and watch. Does the police come over and arrest you? No.
That's the point, making laws isn't enough. There should be people enforcing them. Not alot of police really give fines to these things.
Very thoughtful of the Firemen not wanting to scratch the paintwork.
Loved that! God Bless you all
Even one who lives in England knows it’s illegal to park in front of a water hydrant in America.
Respect to the Firefighters.
Yea everyone knows that but there are always people that think the rules are for everyone else but them.
Although you should, this has nothing to do with respect. The hose needs a straight path.
Except there’s plenty of instances people doing the same thing in England.....
@@englishmaninengland4591 I’ve seen people park directly on top of the yellow hydrant covers.

Yes, sir Karen, yes they would have.

And sir Karen would have to paya fine 🙂
The sense of entitlement of this Nick James is comical. Then the complete lack of self awareness to post that and not realize how much of an ignorant clown he looks like.
i dont think that guy has ever seen the size of alot of fire fighters and what would he have done anyways.
what would have have done other than interfere with rescuing trapped people then got arrested? oo, he's such a tough guy.
The person who parked there is not only an idiot but a bad person for endangering people caught in the fire.
The driver got exactly what he deserved. Don't ever park next to a fire hydrant 😱
Imagine putting the word "lowlife"near the word "firefighters"
Nick James is a punk.
Only psychopaths would dear threaten firefighters for doing their job. I hope his family doesn't ever find themselves caught in a similar situation with some other idiot parked illegally in front of a fire hydrant. Let's see what he says to them if they just bypass the car and can't get the water pressure needed.

The most humiliation anyone will face in this incident is Nick James. Who was a fool enough to put his profile pic as his face followed by the stupid comment.
Don’t worry, checked his profile. He’s just an overall degenerate
@@simonair I mean that was kinda obvious, only a degenerate would think that.
I'm Nick James, bitch!!
He probably doesn’t even drive a car
@@nicholastaiariol2631 darkness
Thank you firefighters. In the last pick the anchor failed to point out the kink in the hose. Anyone playing with or watering a garden knows you can't have a kink in the hose.
Good job hero do what you need to do to helping others ❤
This is really the world we live in, idiots like Nick rather fight them rather than park legally
he wins cringe person of the year I hope nick has bad luck for the rest of his life
Nick James definitely looks like he has some years under his belt as a veteran firefighter and isn’t some teen whose prefrontal cortex isn’t fully developed yet. Glad the news decided to use his argument.
Backlash from Twitter shouldn’t even be highlighted in the news unless they’re publicly known or credible people. That platform is ridiculous and shouldn’t give credit to nobodies.
@@halvey8518 ur a fucking nobody loser.
@@theenzoferrari458 damn someone's getting offended over nothing or maybe you're just projecting
I see nothing wrong. The person parked in front of a fire hydrant. Quit being stupid, selfish, ignorant, and breaking parking laws. Should have towed the vehicle afterwards too.
Ikr
Must have been a demonrat
Probably some 18 year old kid being stupid or arrogant... probably both.
Most people forget that laws are often wrote in blood or in disaster. The fire hydrant law was probably enacted after a fatal fire where acess to water was an issue. Yes, with time, many laws become quite useless or lose their significance... but some of them don't.
It's more like selfish and inconsiderate and acting like a privileged A-hole.
I’ve seen this many times in Elizabeth NJ. The icing on the cake for me was the vehicles also received a nice big summons on the windshields!
I just noticed this is from 4 years ago... which is wild, because I'm pretty sure this happened again recently
"They wouldn't have gotten away with it if it was my car."
Yes, yes they would.

I've literally seen a video of a fire engine RAMMING a COP CAR that was parked in their way, they care about one thing, saving peoples lives - the fact they risk theirs to do so means a few thousand dollars of damage means nothing.

True story, it was in Montreal
Firefighters also famously fued with police so that was probably a win win for them. "Oh cool! We get to ram a patrol car!" Since they're both city owned vehicles they also knew they weren't gonna get sued over it.
Pro tip: When parking in front of a fire hydrant always leave the windows down.
Love how so many people are worried about the car and not the people inside the fire🙄
"They wouldn't have got away with doing it to my car." Actually they would have, and you are admitting you park in a red zone?
I doubt the guy could even fight 1 of the firemen let alone a firetruck full of em.
@@10ReasonsWhy He probably meant that he would've sued the fire department.
@@LucasMartin-im5ub Yea, no matter what way you look it he would have lost. No way this case wouldn't have been thrown out immediately.
@@10ReasonsWhy yep. dead on. I agree it did sound very threatening, yeah buddy, good luck fighting a fireman. Plus, that's a pretty heavy charge I think to assault a fireman. Lose-lose for the guy who thinks they wouldn't have gotten away with doing it to his car.
Would they ever do that to your car?
"They wouldn't have got away with doing it to my car."
I don't know...I feel like firefighters whose job it is to run into buildings weighed down by equipment, and slinging possibly unconscious dead weight over their shoulders to carry out, all while surrounded by fire, are one of the last groups of people you should be starting trouble with.
Especially in an emergency situation the latitude of what they're allowed to do is greatly increased. In certain situations fireys have more authority than police.
Would love to see that prick park in front of a fire hydrant. I would gladly help break ALL his windows and stick a ticket on his seat to appear in court for BREAKING THE LAW.
@Gabriel Côté lol I had to google Stipe, that meeting would be funny.
That dude sounds like the type of guy who would call his lawyer to handle it for him.
They are up there with trying to fight a veteran or an air turbine for that matter.
NO big secret. Firefighters have been doing it this way for at least 75 years. Maybe when we still had Model T's they had clearance to run the hose under the car. It looks BRUTAL. But have you ever seen somebody burned or suffocated in a FIRE? That's truly horrible!
Just DON'T park right next to a hydrant. You get what you deserve. Idiots always think, "It won't happen to me".
Nick James is the same kind of guy who starts a fight, gets fucked up and then tells the story of how he was jumped and if he was in a fair fight he would have won
💀💀💀
Lol
Nick James is an absolute bitch, probably on the city council of some shithole small california town outside of San Fran
Lmao. Yup
@John Stone saw your other comments, you realize that if the firefighters would have gone the hose around those people trapped would have died because not enough water goes through and it would also have been burst. You are the one who is the snowflake here, if you don’t want damage to your car, next time don’t park your car on the red line. Simple! You can also ask anyone or search on Google if you don’t know what it is!
We live in a society where the offender is the victim.
Totally agree
Unfortunately this becomes more true every day and it's not good.
Just look at George Floyd
It's such BS
It’s so sad..
That's one major reason why you don't park in front of fire hydrants on a logical level.
Firefighters are like one of the last professions you'd associate with doing a "power move"....they risk their lives each time they are called upon and most are volunteers.
That's why there are laws about blocking fire hydrants.
I know right. There's a law about not parking your car in front of a fire hydrant, he parks his car in front of it anyways and breaks said law, then gets angry because his car window gets smashed to save lives. Absolutely fucking disgusting
In my country, that is plus heavy fine.
@@jayjaymerabel2433 I wouldn't care if the whole fire squad beat the piss out of him to be honest. LOL
@Mike Sixx agreed..
Best part: insurance usually doesn't cover this.
And they shouldn't. It's illegal for a reason, and people's lives are way more important than one assholes windows
Good insurance shouldn’t cover illegal shit like this.
Insurance covers nothing it's a business that milks your money
Mac JaLac lmao someone is mad they didn’t read their policy.
@chris kibodeaux most if not all insurance would not cover it because it was caused because you were illegally parked
Anyone defending the drivers who do the exact same thing and block fire hydrants are what's wrong with the world today.
This is what happens when you think you're so entitled to park where ya want to.
"They wouldn't have got away with doing it to my car."
Settle down there, bowl cut.
I'm a volunteer firefighter and YES we would have, absolutely 100%, guaranteed, especially if bowl cut got stupid. We don't have time for dumbassery, there are lives literally on the line and some of them are our fellow firefighters.
@@mainely8007 thanks for doing what you do broski
LMAO
It saddens me to see people that think they are so smart, yet they are clearly total morons.
@@mainely8007 The funny thing is when I saw that I just imagine a guy trying to start a fight with a decked out firefighter with a (steel?) prybar (don’t remember the tools actual name, let’s them easily get into buildings) and the firefighter just going “what the fuck are you going to do about it?”
People that are saying they should've bent the hose at an angle so close to the source have clearly never worked with a garden hose let alone a fire hose.
Doesn't take genius to see how much water comes out those hoses. For people to say bend hose instead of shaming person made me lose faith. Shows who was never handed garden hose when they were kid. . Thats sad too. .
It was going to be too much work to put the hose under the car...
@@gregjones3660 putting it under or over the car can lead to sharp bends and kinks in the hose that restrict the flow of water. It's literally shown in the video.
@Bob Saget or don't park where you're not supposed to park..
Shits at like 100psi that doesn’t work lol
