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.

    They have the NYC FD emblem, which is s full-service FD

    They should get their overwidth truck privileges revoked, it kills good urbanism when they can't reach a one-way or bike-only street. Bike paths are actually a common way for emergency services in non-American cities to bypass traffic jams, a well-known problem in NYC. Well, the mandated and enforced Rettungsgasse too, but standalone bike paths are wide enough for police, ambulaces and fire trucks to reach car-free spaces.
