CLEVELAND — Escaping the heat often involves water in some form, but what happened at a recent block party in Cleveland has the fire department reminding people that its vehicles and equipment aren’t toys.
“People approach the apparatus, were shooting it with water guns and they've actually got up on the bumper of the pumper,” Norman said. Video posted to social media also shows people surrounding and squirting water guns at a Cleveland Police car that traveled down the same street. “I'm concerned not just about the unruly behavior but because somebody's going to get hurt if they continue to do these unruly events,” Griffin said. “We cannot cede this city to the criminal element and to the bad actors that are doing these kind of things. When I was growing up, I did a lot of unruly things. But there were some level of boundaries, and there was some level of fear that if you went too far, if you did certain things, there will be consequences.
He said open hydrants are seen across the city, and sometimes, a designated team is sent to shut them off, which eats up resources.
