Last time I was near an apartment fire, the fire department didn’t even waste time asking the crowd if anyone could move the car or figuring out if another hydrant was near, they just pulled in, lined the fire engine bumper up with the SUV, and pushed it fully out of the way of the hydrant. Tires all fucked up and one popped on the curb.
I’d be more than mad, I’d want to at least charge them and see if their actions fit negligent homicide. Moral luck isn’t fair, but don’t fucking park in front of hydrants and it won’t come up like this.
I’ve seen firefighters just push the car out of the way or break windows. Why not this time? Smash the window out, open the door, hook hose up.
Smash doors off, pipe water through the car. It is of no concern to me how much water gets left inside the car.

100% deserved. Don’t park in front of hydrants.
Maybe they did? It still would take critical time. But I agree it would be totally appropriate.
Perhaps they did, and the extra 2 minutes it cost them was enough to doom the tenant.
That’s what they’re supposed to do. Id be asking them why they didn’t in addition to being mad at the person who parked in front of the hydrant
