What's the message? That firefighters are douchebags?

Parking in front of a fire hydrant is PROHIBITED. The hydrant is a fire protection water supply.

yeah if they could have gotten by without doing this I would have. if I needed the water then sure but try to do minimal damage. either way probably have it towed. being in a city I wouldn't be surprised if it was locked and the windows might have broken when forcing the doors. it is suspect that the line still isn't charged though

Well when someone says "it's not about supply, it's about sending a message" it's a pretty good indication they could have gotten away without doing it

Not to mention the hydrant isn't even tagged.
