As of June 4, 2024. . . Over 100 Fire Hydrants Were Stolen In L.A. Sooo, You Had No Water Hydrant Pressure Since This Insane Theft Began, Selling Hydrants For Scrap At A Yard. How Does This Happen ? Red Flag Of ALL RED FLAGS, Scrapping Hydrants.
The headline melts your mind when digestng it, however, nobody was in posession of a brain. The Police taking the report, the teller at the scrap yard, the people walking by as a hydrant is pried from its base, no fucking water leaking out of it.
You get 200psi at a hydrant, enough to hurt you real bad if you don't know what is waiting for you.

I went through this before in LA. Thrives were stealing the brass shut-off valves that shut water off to a house from the meter pit. I went to the scrap yards looking to “repurchase” the valves. After the proprietor showed me about 100 valves, I contacted the Sheriff and he the scrap dealer was promptly arrested for receiving stolen property. Word got out to the other scrap dealers quickly and our theft problem ended.
Scrap yards have long been the pawn shops of meth heads, no questions asked.
Firefags…are hydrants brass?
Not and expert but Cast steel.
Thanks 🐸
From what I remember the "screw" in the hydrant was brass. (Not a fireman - but knew a methhead who worked the public works department that got busted for stealing them from the yard).
Manufactured crises
WHERE ARE THE THOUSANDS OF DISPLACED PEOPLE??? Was EVERYBODY in on this CRIME??? No one bitching but those protecting the CRIME and the CRIMINALS from those FEW really asking legitimate questions. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE PEOPLE IN MAUI??? I SEE A MILITARY STING....GITMO MAY BE FULL...Wishful thinking!
The water control valve for the hydrant is well below grade level. If the hydrant is removed or damaged the valve keeps water from flowing. It is designed to be sheared off and not create a gusher.
And yet these retards will still vote for them.
Selling for scrap? Idiots.... they go for a couple hundred bucks on Craigslist. People buy them for their dogs.
This. And cameras. They are everywhere.
