Firefighters had to break the windows and run a hose through a car that was blocking a fire hydrant in New Jersey.

The fire crew arrived on the scene of a house fire in Hamilton Township but found the car parked in front of the hydrant.

A picture posted on the Hamilton Township Professional Firefighters' Facebook page showed they punched out the windows and threaded the hose through the car.

They had the fire under control quickly and no-one was injured.
