This is why you shouldn't park in front of a fire hydrant.
There's a very good reason that you shouldn't park in front of a fire hydrant, and it's pretty obvious. If firefighters need access to the water, then your vehicle is in their way and potentially putting people in life-threatening danger. Anaheim Fire & Rescue illustrates this lesson on Twitter with a recent post, but the message is drawing heat from some folks online.
Fires and cars don't mix:A lot of people didn't like Anaheim Fire & Rescue's actions, especially breaking the vehicle's windows, and there was a flurry of suggestions about other things the firemen could have done. The heat got hot enough that after replying to many individuals, the organization replied to the original tweet offering a further explanation.
So, next time you think about parking in front of a hydrant, just remember Anaheim Fire & Rescue's message about can happen if the fire department needs access to the water for fighting a blaze.
