I Have Never Driven,

or in fact been to America,


 but one thing I do know is that you never park next to a fire hydrant, if you do things like this can happen,

as Boston Fire's Steve MacDonald commented, "Instead of that engine being operational in about a minute, minute-and-a-half, it was several minutes before that engine was operational," 


the car was parked in front of a hydrant on Trenton Street, Boston when the Lexington Street fire broke out, it started in the engine of a car, and eventually jumped to three houses, the damage to the buildings is estimated at nearly $1 million, the good news is that although a number of buildings had been destroyed no one was injured in the incident, except to the wallet of the owner of the illegally parked car, not only does he have to pay for new windows for the car, as the situation came under control he was given a $100 ticket for illegal paring, repeat after me, 'do not park next to a fire hydrant!'
