- Scoundreller 7y agoIt was just a forum comment that couldn't seem made-up. Search for Copenhagen here: http://freakonomics.com/2006/07/26/parking-spots-and-fire-hydrants/ http://freakonomics.com/2006/07/26/parking-spots-and-fire-hy... I was trying to research which countries prohibit parking in-front of fire hydrants, because many don't, and don't burn down in 6 seconds. I think the 90 degree turns with the hose are fine and can be fit between parked cars. It's the valve facing the street that can be a problem if it's obstructed, possibly needing to smash windows, because there isn't enough space to route around.
