Looks like 4-5 feet from hydrant to car, it woulda s turned nicely straight out into side of car then around front to whatever intake driver wants to use, im not saying it wouldnt be kinked but it wouldnt be bad, I’ve definitely had worse kinks in worse situations than this, not gonna make or break your water coming in. Going underneath car as i saw someone else commented on would definitely work too, saying its too short is bullshit, a city dept that knows what they’re doing always has more than 1 length of soft suction which should be cut to different lengths, or you gotta get a full 100 off the back. Like i said in my original post this is awesome and the car deserved this, but the operator didnt HAVE to do it, where i work we woulda definitely gotten jammed up for this… but i have always wanted to do it so im kinda jealous of this guy… more of a proving a point then tactically necessary in my opinion.

Definitely coulda went around the front and still made the connection, but i love proving the point about why you dont park in front of fire hydrants.
