Firefighters Run Hose Through Car Blocking Hydrant At Lawrence Fire

DARTMOUTH (CBS) – Firefighters had some trouble getting at the flames pouring out of an apartment building in Lawrence on Saturday.

When flames broke out, a car was parked right in front of the nearby fire hydrant. So firefighters had to run the hose through the car.
