One of those shows it's fully blocking a fire hydrant too. The driver's convenience is more important than people maybe burning to death.

If it's blocking a fire hydrant, I think you can call the fire department to have it towed? From what I've read before, they don't take this lightly.

They'll break the windows of a car if it's in the way since any kink in the hose might reduce the water output by like 50%. You'll get towed if no emergency is happening, but you also might get "towed" by the fire engine itself, probably with some major dents in your car if something is happening.
