A tip o’ the hat to Wirecutter for spotting this first. Today’s award for Doofidity goes to the gardener responsible.
The fire department’s going to spank him (or her) so hard . . .

The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!
Flame-thrower job here!
Unless that's *not* an actual, municipal fire system-connected hydrant but is in fact simply an ornamental piece of ironwork . . .
Yep, burn it with fire… OR make the homeowner do the connection!!! 😀
I foresee a visit by some strong gents with large wrenches and unhappy expressions. (They FD is doing the annual flush-n-test of the hydrants in town this week.)

Any of the fireguys I know would trump all over those cactus, and throw heavy fire hose on everything else. Wouldn't be much left when they got done…
I've never seen a hydrant that close to a house. Ours are all right on the edge of the street. Is that really a functional hydrant?
Nothing whatsoever that a couple of minutes' "exercise" with a fire-axe or a Halligan tool can't take care of…
