Parking on fire hydrants is dangerous and illegal! 🚫

The FDNY responded to a 5-alarm fire in the Bronx early Monday morning. 
Multiple vehicles were blocking fire hydrants. 
Luckily, no one was seriously injured.  But this selfish act could mean the difference between life and death.  Don't do it.

And if you choose to block a hydrant, prepare to pay big 💰
Parking on fire hydrants is punishable by up to $5,000 in fines. 
Don’t park on hydrants.
