Lol must be a black person car that's why they did it....or the hose just wasn't long enough to go over the car

Glass can be very tough to break if you don't have a pointed too. It's further complicated by cars like this one that have laminated glass all around they used to be simple tempered glass now they have a strong plastic layer in the middle that keeps the inside from shattering from a blow that cracks the outside layer. You have to beat the glass until it breaks all the way through like this guy did with an operating wrench. A policeman's baton is not very effective at either type which is why they actually sell sharp breaker points that fit onto them.


Look at the hydrant, it's painted black. Those are often marked that way to indicate they are put of service although looks like they are trying it anyways. Also we don't see all the way right where there could be a dry riser connection for the building. If so then you can't let that hose kink so you run through the car because lives depend on it.

Could be. Everywhere I worked we just put these metal out of service rings over the outlets on the hydrant that were bright and reflective and such so you'd know that they were out of service. Might be right about the paint or the outside plumbing too.

Pure fucking grandstanding bastardry. Absolutely no need for that, the hydrant wasn't blocked at all. Fucking wankers.

hoses can't kink - they have to be straight. so they might have had to go through the car windows in order to keep a straight hose. curving the hose around the car may not be an option.

Source - I was a firefighter in the Army and we were 'allowed' to do this but would never do it just to be dicks. If it were the only way to get to a hydrant maybe but this guy has seen the movie Backdraft one too many times.

Thank you for your service, sir. You honored Haiti much.

I found a longer version of the video.

He was parked in front of a fire hydrant and they needed to run a hose to it.

He definitely was not parked in front of it and the fire truck could have easily backed up a bit to be in direct line of the hydrant , overly dramatic are we ??

When you have 100ish psi through hoses you have to keep them straight as possible. Otherwise they kink and they can be impossible to unkink until the water is shut off. This can have unintended consequences like people dying.

They should teach cops how to break windows, they SUCK at it!

How old are you?
Can't even tell the difference between a Cop and a Firefighter...

Let me help you, sport... when I said "they" should teach cops how to break windows, the "they" to whom I was referring was the firemen in the video, as they had no problem breaking the windows.

Five extra minutes instead of just plugging the fucking hose in. What Cunts. Still fun to watch though
