An illegally parked car hindered the firefighters' intervention. The team passed the hose through the inside of the car. (cdn.imgchest.com)

Those hoses can't be bent because of the water flow.

That'll depend on where you live. Without painted curbs I'd rely on the physical indicators. In this case the bollards in front of it. Car is outside the shown limits so I'm guessing this is legally parked and they just wanted a video.

    Absolutely 100% not legally parked. Whether curbs are marked or not, you can't park that close to a hydrant. 15ft is usually the standard minimum across the US.

    usually

    Well there's your problem, your country doesn't standardise shit well enough.

    And there should still be indicators even if the rule is 15 feet. Someone from another state or country might not know, but a yellow line is a very clear indication.

    I only said usually because I don't live everywhere. Every state/major city I looked up mentioned 15ft. Also, how about just not being an ass and don't park ANYWHERE near a hydrant, law or not.
