A New York City driver was taught an expensive lesson after firefighters took matters into their own hands to access a blocked fire hydrant. A recent clip of the scene posted by FDNY Response Videos showed firefighters at the scene of a monstrous blaze, with two firefighters coming up with a solution to their problem. The 4-alarm fire broke out on 3rd Avenue in the Bronx, with the massive inferno consuming a Dunkin’ Donuts, a fabric store, a Chinese restaurant, a furniture store, and a dollar store. Public records revealed that this wasn’t the first time the driver has blocked a fire hydrant. The unidentified owner of the Honda sedan owes $9,255.28 in fines dating back to 2023. In 2 years, the driver has racked up 33 fire hydrant violations. In New York City, it’s illegal to park within 15 feet on either side of a fire hydrant because emergency crews need to be able to access the hydrants at all times. The standard fine for blocking a hydrant is $115, along with the chance of being towed. In this case, the driver probably wishes his car would have been towed.
