Unwatched
a neighbor
the firemen reopened the street…. th firemen came to check and make certain nobody was hurt…………..the owner of the hatzola car knows better than to leave expensive equipent in the vehicle…………….firemen are not bulk removal service…..it would have been nice if whomever was parked near the home moved so that the tree could be put there AND not the least important is FIREMEN ARE NOT private guards over a smashed up car……………….the hatzola car owner should have had their insurance company tow the car to a secure repair shop ….. ooooops, no inurance?
um no
the equipment needs to be in the car, so he can drive off right away, not spend five minutes shlepping it out of his house.
To A Neighbor
Well said. How about everyone says thank you to the fire dept for dealing with it promptly? But no…. gotta kvetch.
