Broken Fire Hydrant on 10th Avenue Causes Icy Mess

By BoroPark24 Staff

A broken fire hydrant at 10th Avenue and 43rd Street continued leaking water, leading to flooding that quickly turned into ice in the freezing temperatures.

The icy conditions trapped multiple vehicles, with their wheels frozen in place, and created a hazardous situation for pedestrians.

The Department of Sanitation responded to the scene with salt trucks and crews. They worked diligently to crack the ice, free the vehicles, and clear the sidewalks to ensure pedestrian safety. Their swift action helped restore order and safety to the area.
