Firefighters remind drivers that it’s illegal to park within15 feet of a hydrant in California, and that blocking hydrants delays firefighters being able to access water in critical situations.
Everyone knows it’s illegal. This guy doesn’t care. This should be a double, or triple fine if blocked during an emergency… Plus impounding the vehicle. Gotta get his attention.
