oh, great to see that they actually do use the fire hydrants! i thought they just put them around the city for increase the city’s income!
CONCERNED!
Stupid people who park in front of hydrants can cause the death of others including our FDNY Firemen who risk everything to help us all! Don’t be selfish … think before you park your car.
