A question for Bentruler or one of the other firefighters on here.
Why would a fire department take the time to break the car windows to lay the line to the pumper instead of laying it over the trunk or hood?
I would think that the movement in the hose as it fills up would scratch the paint and be punishment enought for the idiot for parking there.
I saw the windows being broken and the hose run through being done in the movie Backdraft and thought it was just for dramatic effect.
