Don't Park In Front Of A Fire Hydrant, Or This Could Happen

Don't park in front of a fire hydrant.

One person who neglected to follow that well-known adage found out the hard way it always pays to listen to the rules. Firefighters in Mercer County, N.J. this week broke the windows and ran a hose through a car that was blocking access to the fire hydrant.

Hamilton Township Professional Firefighters posted a picture of the car on Facebook, reminding the community not to park in front of a hydrant.

"This is what happens when you park in front of a hydrant. This was taken last night at the fire on Norway Avenue in the Bromley section of Hamilton. Reminder, it is against the law to park in front of a fire hydrant," the post said.
