This is what could happen if you park in front of a fire hydrant in N.J. [View all]

I'm with the firefighters on this one;

It's 4:17 a.m. and four fire fighters need to make snap decisions. A vacant house along Sherwood Terrace is on fire, but occupants may be inside, neighbors relayed.

The fire hydrant that first responders need to hook their hose up to is blocked by a parked vehicle. What do you do?

"We exhausted the alternatives," Pennsauken fire Chief Jospeh Palumbo said of finding a water source during the "critical time period" when the first crews on scene arrive and get to work.

Palumbo, who arrived on scene shortly after the first fire truck arrived, said they were "left with no choice" but no break the rear driver's side and front passenger's side windows on a black Honda SUV as to get a hose from the hydrant to the engine.

And for some strange reason I thought of the line from The Big Lebowski when I saw the headline. You know the, "...This is what happens when you a stranger in the " line.
