Firefighter Breaks Car Window to Access Blocked Fire Hydrant
Vložit
- čas přidán 11. 07. 2024
- A New York City firefighter broke a car's windows to access a blocked fire hydrant. He then threaded the firehose through the car and attached it to the hydrant. They were fighting a major four-alarm blaze in the Bronx that destroyed multiple businesses. As for the owner of the car, reports say he's racked up 33 fire hydrant violations in the last two years. The violations totaled more than $9,000.
33 fire hydrant violations. Yeah, I’d say the driver had it coming
Without a doubt
@@double_joseph327 what is bro yapping about. If u breaking the law u breaking the law. It’s that simple lil bro
This was definitely personal 😂
@@double_joseph327bro 33 violations isn’t 1 time. They didn’t just wake up and say 1 fire hydrant infraction is 33 violations and smash his window clearly this man has a habit of this conduct.
@@double_joseph327 well don't park near a fire hydrant
That fire fighter recognized the car. “Not this car again”
Good ol accountability!
@@Anthony-vh6ef probably his ex-wife's car?! 🚗😂😂
I laughed and then realized he very well could have when they said *33 violations* wtf
😂🤣
Came here to say that.
Another level of pettiness. They had a clear line to the hydrant, it wasn't physically blocked. Yeah, I know I know, 33 hydrant violations, but one idiotic act doesn't justify another one.
It's not one,it's AT LEAST 33 times,at that's just when he's been caught,the firefighters in the area must recognize the car
@@VicColomeetthey still didn’t need to do this lol
Tbh he went out of his way to break the windows, if it was parked directly infront of it id see no issue. Then again 33 violations???
Dude probably recognized the car for the 33rd time and had enough
The funny part if he takes them to court and wins the case the taxpayers will pay this.
@@e2dwf976 how's the driver going to take them to court without a good lawyer to pay if he's still paying those fines? Doubt he'll even win
@@e2dwf976when a judge sees the guy has 33 tickets for this same thing; they’ll laugh at that guy and you for even thinking of suing the city.
@e2dwf976 they’re gonna see the 33 tickets and laugh in his face.
I don't blame him!! I'd feel the same if I was in the FD!
33??😭😭😭
Mans is actively looking for fire hydrants to park his car at
Yeah in 2 freaking years that's the most shocking part of the story. Like my grandmother always said to me growing up "if you don't hear you will feel."
My goodness! That is absolutely insane!
There's always an open space there!
😂😂
That car has over $10k in tickets.
As a former firefighter.... Access to that hydrant was not blocked..... However, if the guy is a frequent flyer for 33 violations.... Statistically its bound to happen sometime... They just sped up the timing. Good job guys ✌️👍🤙
tbf it as not blocked, but also the car still works, so
Yeah. Not necessary, but necessary for this guy.
The car owner is the biggest firefighter hater
his wife likes to have windows closed when he drives and he likes to drive with windows down. imagine he doing this 33 times just to he can have his windows open
At first I felt bad but once said 33 violations yeah that’s was your final waring
that was No more warnings. lol
He already past that long time ago
He had it coming
Even if the car didn't have 33 violation it's Common to not park there
Yep
Dude was actually looking for fire hydrants to park in front of😂
Facts 💯
😂😂😂
True troll
"Yeah sure, I parked in front of the fire hydrant 32 other times but the fire fighters went too far this time!"
Easy access to a quick relief, after parking
He broke the windows because he can.
33 fire hydrant violations!!!! 33!!!
because angry!
Parking blocking a fire hydrant should be grounds for having your car towed just like blocking someone driveway!!
it is...
33 fire hidrant violation?? Did this person love or hate fire hydrant to park near them ?? lol
they use it as a private spot im assuming, never taken.
😂😂😂😂
I guess if you got millions parking in fire lane might make sense
Not at all!
Not at all!
33 times lmaooo
I have a feeling the dept might know him lol
They definitely do know him 😂
😂 He's like a quiet supervillain to these firefighters
😂😂😂
33 is a Masonic number 😂
If he's got 33 violations, then the guys' Lawers will have a field day as this video is proof of a vendetta in a very winnable case. What a DUMB Fireman.
Car owned was definitely waiting for a day like this 🤑 .
This fireman did not priortize getting connected to the hydrant
And putting it through the window actually looks like its impeded the water flow
And wasted a lot of time
Meanwhile a baby is trapped in a burning building
How would it impede the flow of water compared to making the hose crooked?
@@Delimon007 It was way more crooked going through the car tan it being over the hood. It had big twist in it before he even let the water go through and still had 3 big angles after. One hump, that is all the hose would have had over the hood and a pretty much straight line after that.
@@Delimon007did you not see the video?
I'm okay with firefighters breaking the Windows like that but I really don't think he needed to
Why not?
@@wolfe6220 speed. its faster to connect and drape over versus the time to smash windows out and thread the hose through the car. All while there is a fire that needs to be put out. But whatever looks cool I guess
@@wolfe6220 because the car wasn't blocking the hydrant. He literally had to go out of the way to thread the hose thru the car. The shortest distance from point A to point B is a straight line. This was not a straight line.
LOL that was completely unnecessary. It looks like he recognized his cheating ex wife's new car that his alimony paid for. He had THAT level of hate on his face.
@@paulaw418 No, but what have straight lines got to do with it? I suggest you look for videos explaining how hydrants and engines need to be connected. Curves matter.
bro out there collecting fire hydrant violations like pokemons.
😂😂😂
😂
Ahahahahhaha lmfao 🤣 😂 💀 😭 😆 😅 🤣 😂
Omg 😂😂😂
😂
Okay 33 violations is entering “kink” territory. This guy gets something out of it
It really is 😂😂
I literally was thinking the same thing lol When your fetish is to park in front of fire hydrants.
Idk what kind of high did u get from parking in front of a hydrant
The guy is probably rich and figured that the ticket is worth the time savings to park there
Probably a Furry
Bro spent more time breaking the window than fighting the fire
Bro is a chauffeur.
@Tekaginatornever heard of a joke? Must be real fun to hangout with
Is that fire fighter blind? He can perfectly fit the hose in front of the fire hydrant. What a waste of time and effort.
Everyone commenting wants to defend him too.
Not a waste of time and effort. This guy won't be making the same mistake again I bet.
@@QuantumFishFTW There is a fire on the building at that time. Every second counts only to waste for this. The firefighter could just smash the window after he connected the hose(not recommended) or report it to the authorities to penalize the owner/driver.
Exactly, I think the dude has anger issues and it's time to retired.@@maxwelltrevelyan7184
It would have been faster to go over the car, but he broke the windows because he could and it makes a statement.
@ bigospig well yeah!
probably better for the hose as well. But statement had to be made and I'm not complaining 🙂
You can't place a fire hose over or under a car blocking a hydrant because it can cause the hose to kink up and restrict water flow.
@@yesman121 The windows were literally further and around the same height as the hood

It's because they're the only available parking spots lol
Homie literally went out of the way to break the window
Don’t put yourself in that situation
Homie????
that guy ain't a Homie. go back to school
do you even know what that means
Sounds like you would go out of your way to ensure an individual's comfort at the risks of lives
Unless that hose has to be completely straight then he did t need to break the window. He wasted valuable time being malicious
clearly it doesn't need to be straight since it had to curve multiple times just to get in and out of the car windows
@@Dell-ol6hb thank you dale. I did t see that
"valuable time" Nope!!!!!!! 🤣😂🤣😂
@@Jay-bh2sk Every minute fighting a blaze, especially in a row home situation, is a waste of time on a vengeful effort. You have no clue.
Parking 33 times at a fire hydrant. That is malicious. That bad driver should be exiled off the country as a example for people above the laws. Not to mention about corrupt politicians but that is another story. 😡
33 fire hydrant violations? This driver is at war with the fire fighters 😂
and lost his war
Yeah, you're not getting 33 violations without making this a full time job 😅
"33 fire hydrant violations"....yeah, I have zero sympathy for this person having their windows smashed out....they put lives and property at risk with their selfishness.
No they didn’t;
Objectively wrong.
Yes they did! People could have died due to the car owners inability to follow the law or have common sense
@@kikirose8709 You’re wrong.
Dude he could've easily just put the house around the car
@@sheepdog916you’re wrong
That was 100% unnecessary.
...but 100% appropriate considering the habit this person has of blocking fire hydrants. Tickets didn't seem to deter them. Maybe a destroyed car will.
Yea this was personal. They checked the plate and saw their driving record
33 violations, thats testing the luck too far Im sure as hell insurance would be thrilled to hear the claim
If a person commits an infraction that results in an accident or the FD breaking the window then he/she's 100% liable and is not covered by any insurance policy, since it's due to the driver's complete indifference and negligence to safety-related practices and/or other traffic regulations.
@@PanamanianMan317They could have routed the hose over the car.
@@user-vx7vi3vq1cThat doesn’t matter here. Screw what they could have done. When your life is on the line, you do what you have to. And if you can punish a jackass like this, one who’s gotten on the bad side of multiple departments, good.
@@RAdaltonracer Saving a life? It took far longer to smash the windows than just routing the hose 12 inches higher over the roof!
Imagine all the water that went into the car from the end of the hose because they never seal perfectly. I know someone’s gonna argue.
"How many times do we gotta teach you this lesson old man," fits this perfectly.

Firefighters on Twitter said car owner should sue and the car wasn't even blocking the hydrant.
33 hydrant violations says that's gonna be a waste of time and money..
Twitter armchair experts more like.
I doubt they win. Although it wasn't blocking the hydrant, it still was in violation
It’s common sense to not park by a fire hydrant, there’s even a sign on the ground or sidewalk that says “NO PARKING”.
Yeah, but it's wasn't printed in 15 different languages.😂
Common sense? NYC is all out of common sense.
I’ve never seen a “no parking” sign in my city in front of fire hydrants. Ofc I know not to cuz I’m a driving nerd, but they do it all the time here with zero Fs.
Watch the end of the video where the guy measures it. NOTHING tells me that the space near the hydrant isn't just another parking space. They should paint a striped pattern across the area like those between interstates and exit/entrance ramps. Make it CLEAR that you aren't supposed to be there.
My man was ready to break every car window on that street before putting out that fire. 🤣
right..smh.. we have a lot of ppl like him in power.. they care about their feelings first the jobs come second..
@@johnlase4376 💯
The other guy wants his windows broken. He has 33 violations. Imagine how many times he's gotten away with it.
@@grondheroTrue but that still Doesn't excuse the fact that he just wasted time breaking the window when it could've just gone over the hood. Regardless of what the car owner did it would've made sense.
@@Aquayunyunkeyboard firefighter?
Dude wasted more time breaking the windows
True. Tbh it's stupid
Yeah everyone focusing on the violations is ignoring the fact that the firefighter let a fire rage on just to spite a driver who might have violated the letter of the law but wasn't actually physically blocking access to the hydrant. What if there were people inside that building?
@@McP1mpin My guess is that they this hose was not of importance to fighting the fire, and they recognized the car (33 violations) and figure they would teach him a proper lesson...
Yea, he didnt need to interact with the car at all. I know the driver is a douche canoe, but this was completely petty.
Two wrongs don't make a right. Fire person is the bigger jerk here.
Imagine you're 14ft away from a hydrant and then your windows got smashed lol
That one was like 1 foot.
Stop it, now you're reaching. People aren't that daft.
Parking is difficult to come by in nyc, ppl generally do NOT give 15 feet, they just don't, I rarely see ppl give 5, much less 10 feet, but ppl definitely try to not be directly in front of it. That firefighter was over the top. Fire fighters don't run plates, so I wonder if he was extra like that because of the neighborhood. One would think that he wasted time breaking 4 windows when it would've been faster to throw the hose over the top, or just break 2, but all 4 door windows?
@@DroneStrike1776 that firefighter sure was though. same with that driver
@@NottABlack In this one it looks like just two. At 1:02, there is a different car with 4 windows broken because the pillar is right at the hose connection and they probably had to change which window to get a better angle.
Wasting precious time to act like a tough guy.
In my college town people parked illegally down the street had their cars damaged by a fire truck going to a fire. The fire department denied all claims against them and the judge said they were right because the cars were parked illegally.
nonsense ...
your DAMAGE against me should not be 'cancelled' because of whatever wrong i'm doing ...

because everyone's guilty of doing something wrong ...

They probably live right there and park in that spot daily. Otherwise I don't know why they would be parking by a fire hydrant so often.
Classic example of the wealthy behaving less ethically
@@yunarukami6161 33 violations or not, it was unnecessary to break the windows and it also a waste of time.
@@kateyoung7929 he's been doing that so many times so technically no he don't live there if that's the case.
He put lives at risk by wasting time doing that.
It took longer to break the windows and delayed water to the fire. Having said that, the car owner had 33 "parking in front of a fire hydrant" violations, they definitely had it coming!
Wow. 33 violations, up to a total of $9,255?! Hope the owner has enough of that in her savings.

How can you go around in life with 33 violations? Why is she still allowed to drive? I’m confused

This isn't the first time this was done and the FDNY isn't the only department to do it. Firemen have been doing this for decades. The best way to avoid it? Don't park near a hydrant.
This was done out of spite. That hose was more obstructed going through the window than it would have been over the hood.
@@majorlazor5058or why not thread the hose underneath?
@@burger_kinghorn good point! But we know why 🤣😂
@@majorlazor5058 I'd be concerned that broken glass shards could puncture the hose.
@@burger_kinghorn Because of the water pressure?.. you can't fold water hose as its gonna either become a danger or not have enough pressure to go far
So you take 5 minutes to bust out the windows and run the hose through when you could have just ran it in front of the car. So who really putting lives and property at risk?
Your mom
Hahahaha @@jacobjackjackstrong4776
It took him 30 seconds for each window, so maybe a minute or so total.
It really doesn't matter if the firefighters COULD have snaked the hose a different way, the point is they don't HAVE to.
So the lesson to be learned is simple - don't want your windows smashed out, don't park anywhere near a hydrant.
This isn't rocket science.
Also those hoses need to run in as straight a line as possible to get maximum flow. The more kinks and turns the hose has the worse the water pressure would be. So while it could be "snaked" around the car it would slow the water down.
You can try it with a garden hose, add a bunch of kinks and loops to a garden hose and the pressure will be much lower.

33 fire hydrant violations? Wow… how has he not learned his lesson by now?!

There was NO need for that… it was clearly possible to go right around or over the car.
Unnecessary , ego induced breaking of those window , 🤤
The owner may have violated but that was a waste of time. He could have easily went around the car. 33 violations is a lot but that was done out of anger.
That the same thing i say he so smart
I would say that was a perfect time for real-life training since they already had other firetrucks locked and ready. And you said it yourself... 33 violations and has not learned a single thing... maybe he will learn this time not to park on a fire hydrant?

technically, they did the right thing, and every state in the United states, it is illegal to park within 15-20 feet of a fire hydrant
did he really ? how long did it take the fireman to do break both windows and then put the hose through the car vs putting the hose over the car and hooking it up immediately to get water to the fire !!! looks like he spent lots of time with his childish frustration as oppose to putting out the fire faster !!! Technically he failed the owner of the building that was burning!!! Not excusing the car owner but the fireman is not too bright when it comes to doing what he is suppose to do first.... put out a fire!!!!
@@YesItsReallyKeithit won’t work if it’s over the roof. The pressure is too high for the angle.
@@YesItsReallyKeithIt doesn’t matter. They were legally in the right and the car shouldn’t have been there. Nothing to cry and pout over.
@@jzeat1480 i doubt it but i wont argue it but behind the wheels would have worked just fine imo.
@@MoisesNoisess it's not the point if they were legally in the right... the building is on fire and getting the fire is burning larger... so taking more time to bring the water means possibly a bigger emergency with other things catching on fire!!! it's not about pouting...the driver is clearly in the wrong but the fireman is as well in the wrong imo.
The chief said time is of the essence. So standing there breaking two windows and threading the hose through the windows is less time consiming than just draping it over top? Get out of here.
Yeah that’s what I was thnkg. Throw the hose over the car to see if it reaches or break 2 car windows with at least 2-4 attempts on each window?
Car is in the wrong but the priority shouldn't have been ego and a power trip.
Access to the hydrant was easily available and people's homes were burning.
He wasted valuable time trying to make a point...
Kinda irresponsible and pathetic in my eye's..

So much for ur common sense 🤣
I 99% believe he waited his whole firefighting career to do that 😭 bro seized the moment
Firefighter: "Time is the essence."
Also firefighter: * takes 15 minutes to break the windows. *
As a career firefighter with more than 20 years service, I have a rather strong opinion on this. This was 100% unnecessary and nothing more than a big show of power. Yeah, it looked cool in the movie "Backdraft", but not cool in reality. I have a huge issue with blocking hydrants, but that connection could have been made over or around the car. This was simply "I'm a bad-ass" theatrics, that makes the firefighters look as bad as the person who blocked the hydrant.
We watched Backdraft recently and couldn't work out what they were doing that for there even. It was obvious they could just go over the car in fact it would have been quicker to do that. Didn't look cool in the slightest.
Also seems like it wasted alot of time too. Not saying the car owner is completely faultless, he is pretty close to the hydrant. But he didn't make it so inaccessible to the point that window breaking was necessary. It's hard to pin blame in this one, both parties could've easily done something to avoid this.
Bro took 5 minutes to break the windows and connect it up when the pipe flow would have been better over the hood of the car and 5 minutes of them ACTUALLY TACKLING THE FIRE. if someone lost a life, I'm sure the family could sue
I fully agree…
I'm with you on this one. Unnecessary procedure for sure not to mention the time it took to break out the windows. I don't care how many violations this person had. I still think it was just a show of power. They could have easily put it over the car hood with absolutely no impedance of water flow.
bro had space to put in the hydrant but my guessing is he did that because to teach this guy a lesson?
lost time in the process though
@@CityWhisperernot at all takes more time to smash 2 windows and risk hose being punctured by glass

He could have gone over the hood of the car with the hose but I’m guessing he decided to give the Honda owner a FAFO lesson.
@@highdesertutah any sharp turns with hose mean lost pressure
100% the straight line was over the bumper. When he feeds it thru the window it crinckles. He just had a great excuse to release his anger at the idiot vehicle owner. And we don't blame him.
He missed the other windows.
Dude was so irritated, he broke windows he didn’t even need to.
.... is the limit (F.I.B)
Agreed. I’ve been a fire fighter for almost 30 years now and that was completely unnecessary. Big guy thinks breaking peoples windows makes him tough when in really it’s the literal opposite. It even took him like 10+ swings to even break the glass! 😂
@@bmp3mI’ve been a fire fighter for 31 years, sure they could have put the hose over the hood of the car, but come on dude. The car owner has 33 tickets for blocking hydrants in 2 years they clear recognize the car.

Some people have to learn it the hard way and he had it easy otherwise he wouldn't have 33 violations of him doing this.
The time potentially lost is the issue. If someone is willing to waste time in an emergency situation, I question their judgement. Fix the immediate problems first, then do justice.
@@yunarukami6161 I wonder if you would feel the same way if ur family member was in the burning building and the fire crew out there breaking a car window out of power trip while ur family is being burned alive inside.
Either or would've been the same outcome. He wasted time breaking it BUT you're in a fight or flight when it comes to emergencies. Not to mention with 33 violations...you got karma coming.

It wasn't necessary, I think it's personal, to show, who's the boss here. The hose was not so short to do that

@@josephl3977 yeah , if the car was actually blocking the hydrant ..

No, the firefighter did NOT _HAVE_ to do that, he CHOSE to do it out of spite. Moreover, he WASTED TIME breaking the windows instead of just going straight to the fire-hydrant. 😒 The law says 15' as a BLANKET rule, it's not a scientific necessity; clearly in this case, they COULD have used the hydrant without 15' of space. 🙄 People think the driver having 33 violations means he's a serial scumbag, but they're ignoring more statistically-likely scenarios: there's a fire-hydrant in front of the guy's house or work or something and they keep ticketing him as a dick-move despite there being enough room to connect a hose (also, people assume the violations mean firefighters had to actually _connect_ a hose 33 times, but that's not true, cops just saw his car was near a fire-hydrant and gave a ticket; this might have been the only time a fire-truck was actually around). 🤦
I don't get why people defending that Honda owner in this comment section, he/she was clearly violating parking laws and never learn a lesson in their life to not do it again.
Note : I summarize that most of these people don't know how the hose works to put the flame out, do some research perhaps and then you should know why i disagree with the people who take the car owner's side
Not everthing is black and white. I would never defend the car owner but I wouldn't defend the firefighter either because what he did was unnecessary. After all, we learned as children that 2 wrongs don't make a right.

When a cop gets fired and becomes a fire fighter.
This 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Definitely gave off that boys in blue energy
Yeah NO
right!!!!
it's NYC. The owner can always just steal a new car.
Dude 33 fire hydrant violations & over $9,000.00 in fees speaks for itself. Learn the rules. I am with the fireman on this one.
I'm guessing he recognized the vehicle.
😂
😂lol
@@tsully4368 xd
and the plate number
😂
At first I was like that was unnecessary but then I learned the guy had 33 hydrant violations. Justice served
they cannot run the hose over the car or around because it will mess up the water pressure. DONT PARK BLOCKING HYDRANTS.
Justice? Is it the FD’s job to administer justice?
@@megsleyIsn’t that what’s happening anyway when they put it through the car in this instance? Genuinely asking because it seems like the water pressure in this case would be affected similarly since the hose has to be lifted and angled through the car’s windows and draped back down to the hydrant.
@@megsleyRaising the hose 8 inches higher over the roof would have made zero difference. As it was the hose made two turns in the car windows.
@@megsleyNo, it would be perfectly fine you can see in clips the hose literally folds when hey put it through
At that point, the owner of the vehicle is one of those people that see the fine as how much it costs to break the law.
Not defending the car owner, but more time spent to go through the car than just park the fire truck in a better position relative the fire hydrant. Looks more like a fire fighter on a power trip than a situation where priority to saving life and property was made.
He spent more time breaking the car's windows . It was possible to extend the firehose over the car. Where is the logic?
Haha could be.. is not that the hose is that far away 😊
It’s the length of the hose. It’s looks like it could have been close to short. I’ve done training for volunteer fire fighter training before and you make those calls pulling up. You know it may fit under the car or it may go over the car, why waist time trying alternatives, when you can definitely go through the car that shouldn’t be there.
It’s not about saving time it’s about being effective.
@@mythoceanas8874 the hose is long enough, draping the hose across the hood would have been maybe 3 feet more. that's it.
@carpediem5232 if the hose had 2 spare feet, 3 feet is a lot lol
33 prior violations. This was clearly meant as a message to the driver
Took longer to hook up the hose. Guess time wasn’t of the essence.
Exactly😂 what a goofy that firefighter is
@@westcoastmex629womp womp cry more 🤡🤡🤡
@@westcoastmex629im a firefighter hose cannot be bent because I it’s gonna have a kink and that restricts water flow and that could cause the truck not to get enough water and use more than what it’s getting causing the firefighting to be harder because of less water
It also reduces water pressure
@@AlexThomas-lp1ufI think this is also done as a warning not to do it again
Bogus…they wasted time breaking the window. They could have connected the hose quicker by connecting the hose over the hood of the car. Very poor judgement by the fire fighter.
I was mad at first but 33 violations in 2 years ?? Yeah you had coming 😂😂
He wasted time busting the windows out to make a point
Maybe the owner will think twice about it next time. 😂
@@76ersALLDAYmaybe not
There's a small space for those firefighters to access the hydrant..Just move up a bit..Shhh..
@@76ersALLDAY He should but that's not the point of the comment. Time was wasted just to teach a lesson.
@@adammiller9179 Yes, and that lesson is FAFO
"Time is of the essence" - it took him 10 times as long to do that as it would have to not do that.
The rule is 15 feet for a reason they still had to connect to the hydrant to quell the fire so yeah that guy forced them to take an extra 10mins in an emergency
@@demoneyez97 your missing the point, priority, they should prioritize their job which is to put out fire as fast as possible. not waste a lot of time breaking windows while the fire keeps blazing.
@@demoneyez97They were not forced to break the windows, they chose to.
@@demoneyez97Have you ever used a garden hose? It’s easier to lay them on top of low objects instead of cutting holes through the objects and threading the hose through 😂
@@Reginald_Harrisonhave you ever used a fire hose because it's absolutely nothing like a measly little garden hose
His car wasn't blocking the fire hydrant.
🤔 I'm a volunteer firefighter.The guy was parked in the room but for the Fire fighter to do what he did, that was unnecessary and malicious, Meaning You park firetruck behind the back passenger door Take Hose through passenger side front window Out driverside window down sidewalk Two water hydrant in front of car, Like I said malicious and unnecessary.
For no reason at all at all, after a few minutes the hose was removed, and the firetruck was moved up a few feet and hose was rerouted in front of the car. That was a waste of time from both sides of the story. I seen the whole video. Smh
Point made. Bet they never do that again
what is your point. dont break NYC laws dear
It’s not just New York it’s the whole country
I mostly agree, but I still think the car’s owner had it coming. 33 recent tickets for blocking hydrants is nuts.
Oh well.
No need to bust the windows. They actually WASTED time!...something i have personally witnessed on my own street.
@@Tortilla.Reform Sure, and bending it back and through the car doesn't?
Actually, it’s the illegally parked car that wasted their time fighting the fire. And, it was parked illegally. Zero Fs given
Jeremy is dolt who doesn’t understand things
@@62Cristoforoit was illegally parked, yes. That doesn't mean the firefighters HAD to break the windows. It wasn't the best option as going through the car's frame and bending 90 degrees will obstruct flow more than if they were to go over the hood. It looked like the firefighter knew he would be able to break the windows without punishment and then decided on prioritizing that instead of actually putting out the fire in the given situation.
Absolute vandalism. You don't get donations and support for your station by being a smartass. Yes, the car is parked too close but the hose would have had a better line running over the hood or even under the car. This guy just wanted to be the 'hero' of the day. He wasted way too much time when there were obviously better options.
If it goes over the hood, the hose will bend like cardboard and slow the flow of water, it’s gotta be level so they can get as much water pressure as possible.
there is a church on my street and the church goers routinely block the hydrants - when confronted their response is always "It's ok - I'm going to church"
The hose was kinked up when they turned it on from so many turns in the car, they literally could’ve saved time and effort by going around the car
That wouldn’t work due to the angle of the entry point
@@adangamez3608 Yes, it would, you attach the coupling BEFORE the water is turned on, we have put those things in way more acute angles than that.
@@adangamez3608it's more so done as a warning not to do it again not necessarily because there's a systematic reason
@@Kennedy1op Well I'm sorry, but Mr. steroids would be getting a late night visit from me. Maybe I don't total his vehicles.
Yes it would @@adangamez3608
People's opinion dont always matter. Getting the fire out, is more important than a dam car.
It took longer for them to break the window of a car than to just put the hose on top of the hood of a car. He just wanted to make a point. LOL
exactly .." a point"
Cool, so why did he waste all that precious time breaking windows?
Exactly!!! 💯!!
@@thomaspetersen3220 Because it's fun, Duh.
That was absolutely unnecessary. They spent more time breaking windows then if they would go over it. Just showing up. Ego trip.
"Time is of the essence"... chooses the most time consuming method, putting even more people's lives in danger.
