Reminder: Don't drive over fire hoses

County of GP fire crews are sounding the alarm after drivers were caught running over live fire hoses.

They say it’s not just illegal—it’s dangerous and can delay critical firefighting efforts.

Damaged hoses put both firefighters and the public at serious risk.

Fines start at $500, so stay clear and follow all emergency directions.
