Is this anybodys on here?

In Minnesota, the law simply says 'no parking in front of a fire hydrant'. The yellow line is superfluous when the street and curbing are covered with snow or you are in a suburban area where there are no curbs.

This was a thing last year. Ironically, I've owned both of these kinds of cars.

I'm about to join you. How do you compare these two? Specifically 335 vs GT if applicable.

For me I like the look and sound of Mustang, but am conerned about the size, underbody rust and visibility(or the lack of it)

To add, unfortunately there really isn't any hard and fast rules about marking fire hydrants. If you see one, you're supposed to not park within xx ft of it.

He or she really Gummped that one.

Bet there's some nice paint scratches from that dirty hose rubbing over the rear fender and trunk lid.

Maybe the car owner had a problem. A medical problem. Maybe the fire company is at their house. Ok so the owner had a lapse in judgement by parking there. Is it any reason to wreck up the car. That hose could have easily been run behind the car. The police could have written up a ticket and been done with it.

This guys gonna need a tone of wax to get those scratches outta the paint :lol:

Only sometimes, just like here. For the most part they hook up to hydrants both in the US and the UK. In the UK the fire trucks usually carry the hydrant itself and just connect it to the water pipe hook ups. That's what those yellow H post markers and yellow access panels in the street/sidewalks are for in the UK.

They do too in the U.S., but the truck's internal tank usually only holds around 500-600 gallons of water (which all the hoses going full tilt can empty in an insanely quick amount of time!). Certain fire trucks over here carry much larger water tanks, like airport firefighting trucks and brush fire trucks...

I grew up in the country, and when the horse stable next door caught on fire one day, and the responding fire trucks ran out of water, they ran a hose into our backyard neighbor's swimming pool ;)

Back in the day, our volunteer fire hall would come out upon request and fill your swimming pool. They would bring out the tanker. It wasn't an in ground pool. Probably 12' diameter and 3' deep.

They were obviously 'making a statement' by routing the hose on and over the car. I agree, they could have pulled up a few more feet and rand the hose on the ground behind the rear end to the hydrant.
