There are ZERO instances where it is ok to run over any fire hose.
Don’t do it.
(Stolen from West Hazleton Fire page,, who took it from a fire police group.)
§ 3707. Driving or stopping close to fire apparatus. The driver of any vehicle other than one on official business shall not follow any fire apparatus traveling in response to a fire alarm closer than 500 feet or stop the vehicle within 500 feet of any fire apparatus stopped in answer to a fire alarm. Cross References. Section 3707 is referred to in section 3327 of this title. § 3708. Unauthorized driving over fire hose. No vehicle shall be driven over any unprotected hose of a fire department when laid down on any highway, private road or driveway, for use at any fire or alarm of fire, without the consent of a fire department officer, a police officer or other appropriately attired person authorized to direct, control or regulate traffic at the scene.

When this happens, it’s usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it’s been deleted.My boyfriend knows one of the police officers that responded. You can just tell this is really bothering him as he has children himself. This is so heartbreaking. Praying for everyone involved including the first responders

On average it takes 5 minutes to shovel out a hydrant covered in snow.
For your sake, for your neighbors sake, for the fire department’s sake, give the hydrant some love and free it from that snowy prison.

It’s not a problem, but then PenDot or twsp plows come by and bury it again in not just snow, but slushy heavy ice… what is a person to do? Some of the hydrants are near elderly people who can barely dig themselves out…. What are they or anyone supposed to do??
