Police and Fire Department Respond to Broken Fire Hydrant

This week, the Police Department worked closely with the Fullerton Fire Department for a road closure and shut off a fire hydrant hit by a commercial work truck.

This occurred at 2700 Torrey Pines on January 27, 2022. No injuries or damage other than the fire hydrant due to the collision.

The Police Department responds fairly frequently to collisions involving fire hydrants. Fortunately, the fire department and police department have a great working relationship, and each knows their role when responding to an incident such as this.
