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.

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.

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.

Sure they managed to hook it up but how many extra seconds were lost needlessly? Before you say again that you aren't defending the guy.....you actually kinda are.

When I was a street cop for a west coast city we ticketed cars parked in red zone fire hydrant spots. Problem was that the fine was less than the cost of parking in one of the lots, so it was cost effective. I ticketed one particular BMW several times over a few months. One day there was a fire and the fire department took out the drivers and passenger side windows and ran the hose through the front seat of the car. I ticketed the vehicle at the fire departments request and I might add, the hose through the mans car was the very last hose removed and that was several hours after the hose was connected. I never saw the car parked there again.

A friend of mine used to see how far he could push the system, he would park like half in a ditch, half in the parking lot in his truck, or half on a median half in a spot for a motorcycle, just ridiculous, and any time he got a fine for not paying or parking improperly, he just paid for it, no problem.

The building I used to live in had a fire hydrant in front of it. I always shoveled around it thinking the few minutes it would take for firefighters to locate and dig it out could mean the difference between someone living or dying. The last time I shoveled it out was February 17, 2021. That evening, a fire started in the rear of the building. The upper rear apartment and attic sustained significant damage, but the rest of the building was spared. I lived in the lower front and ran a home business there. Fortunately I was able to salvage 95% of my inventory, and personal belongings. That amounted to about 50k. What I did lose was from water damage, not fire. With no insurance, I literally came very close to losing everything. The fire marshal told me without a doubt that having the hydrant clear made a difference regarding how far the fire was able to spread. All those hundreds of times digging out that hydrant over the years, always thinking it could save someone's life. Never once did I consider it could be my own. So yeah, if you have a hydrant near your house, don't park in front of it and do your part to keep it clear in the winter. It could be your life it saves.

[@KP-nn6ey]

@FireEscape All those kind of people are only "experts" on the internet. I know i'm not a police officer or a firefighter but I work in security and people who have not done my type of work seem to know better then me about how to do it. It becomes funny because I just try to imagine how they would actually handle a high stress situation. Especially with this picture. What did they expect firefighters to do? Find the owner and ask them to move his/her car while people are burning inside their homes?

[@Bartonovich52]

Because most firefighters have an extremely overinflated sense of self-importance. They could probably just let the structure burn and the net results would be the same.

[@stormtruppo]

Sounds a lot like saying, "why didn't the police just shoot them in the legs?" Let the experts handle the scenario. Unlike your opinion, they know what they are doing.

You're not supposed to park in front of fire hydrants, period. That has been established public decorum for decades, and it has ALWAYS been the case that if you do and the fire fighters need to access the hydrant in a hurry, they will either shove your car out of the way with their truck or they will smash the windows in and run the hose through the car. You do not get in the way of fire fighters. Cities burn when fire fighters can't get to water. People die when fire fighters can't get to water. Do not park in front of hydrants, period.

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.

[@thomasottvideos]

My brother is a retired firefighter from Washington, DC. He has personally broken the windows of illegally parked vehicles a dozen times in his 25-year career: for the same reason in the video. He also said when dealing with a house engulfed in flames - and occupants are still in the house - the difference between life and death for the victims can be measured in seconds. He recalled one incident when it took and extra three to five minutes to cut through the security bars of a row-house window to gain access to the burning structure. When he finally got inside, he found four children under the age of 10 all huddled in a corner and holding tight to each other as they WAITED in TERROR for the firefighters to rescue them. Unfortunately, the "security" bars delayed access just long enough that all four children died from smoke inhalation while clinging together. So, if that a-hole, whose vehicle was blocking access to a fire hydrant, thinks his car windows are worth more than the lives and safety of humans - he deserves much worse than the cost of replacing a couple of backseat windows. Additionally, the jerk in the video who claimed the firefighters were abusing their authority, I have just one question: When was the last time YOU risked YOUR life to help save lives and property???

[@luciusvorenus9445]

Additionally two kinks in a hose, as demonstrated by running the supply line over or under the car, reduces water volume by 50%. That's a huge deal.

[@jen30551]

Much respect for your brother and for you for trying to get the message out. I'm a burn survivor and through the years the shit I have seen people do with and around fire is shocking and infuriating. To anyone talking shit about firefighters I challenge them to volunteer at a children's burn unit for a day. If that doesn't change a person, they're hopeless.

[@trentstuckey8971]

I agree. I hope insurance doesn’t pay to replace the broken windows!

@@trentstuckey8971 good chance you'll get your wish. Normally if there's a citation or arrest involved with the claim, they won't pay because they were breaking the law. Insurance don't pay for illegal activity.

[@thomasottvideos]

@@jen30551.... Thank you for your reply. I have not personally been a burn victim. Nevertheless, I have consideration for your injuries and recuperation. My firefighter brother got caught in a backdraft and was nearly burned alive. He spent six months in a Washington, DC burn ward and many months of painful rehab. Rather than retire on disability, he eventually returned to his firefighting career and retired a few years later. He is now 84 years old and suffers each day with a breathing problems from latent issues from having burned lungs. His legs, which were severely damaged in the event still give him restless nights all these years later. So, I have a special place in my heart for all first responders and overreact when people make ignorant statements about the people who are willing to sacrifice their life to save the life of a complete stranger.

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.
