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.

It was absolutely necessary for the engineer to act swiftly. By doing so, they managed to direct water onto the fire accurately and maintain proper pressure.

[@TwoPlusTwoEqualsFive32]

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.

Okay, but they can do that.

The residents who live adjacent to the fire house can find some other block to park their cars on. If parking is that tight, it will only be worse for the residents.
