Those hoses can’t be bent because of the water flow.

    this happens all the time. I saw it in the 90s doing ride-alongs with med-star (ambulance company). it’s gonna dump a lot of water into the vehicle, too, because hoses get use, worn and leak. And every time I see it I feel a little bit of joy in my heart because fuck you, stop blocking hydrants you ghouls.

          Rules are rules? I totally agree. But deciding about punishment is, according to the rules, not the job of the fire fighters.

          So it seems you are all all-in on “rules are rules” sometimes, but fine with “who cares about rules” at others?

              Lol… Tough guy, eh?

              I thought we already agreed that this is neither required nor useful, and just punishment. Or you replied to the wrong comment?

                you don’t need to be tough, just smart enough to not block access to fireplugs or man enough to admit it was a dumb decision and take your licks.
