A civilian is alleged to have constructed a shop directly on a fire hydrant, in breach of safety regulations that require a 3- to 7.5-foot clear space for emergency access. During a lawful firefighting operation, the individual reportedly attempted to prevent firefighters from replenishing water, citing water splashing. The incident occurred at Kronum Okada Station, sparking public debate much of which has focused on the firefighters’ response rather than the obstruction of their lawful duties.
