Of course, if NYC managed their resources better, perhaps there wouldn’t be a need for these FDNY units!

A major operational challenge for the FDNY during cold weather is frozen hydrants caused by freezing temperatures. To prevent water from freezing in these hydrants across the city, the FDNY has specialized thawing apparatus trucks in each of the five boroughs.

Two vehicles were parked on fire hydrants when FDNY units responded to a 4-alarm fire Thursday in the Bronx. Parking on fire hydrants is ILLEGAL in New York City, and it can delay first responders when seconds matter most. Keep hydrants clear so our members can quickly get water on a fire and save lives. 🚫 DON'T park on fire hydrants.
