It’s a beautiful white house on a quiet street, but something is out of place; there’s a fire hydrant bolted onto the brick pavers, near the front door. Stray dogs stop by to relieve themselves. Fire trucks pull up, lights and sirens going, to refill their tanks. (Someone should tell them it’s not real.) But the owner refuses to remove the hydrant, despite pleas from the neighbors and even his own family. His teenage son pulls up in the massive driveway, trying to park as close to the front door as possible.
“You can’t do that,” quips dad. “It’s illegal.”
