Notice a stream of water flowing down Latona Ave NE and N 65th St?

Water running down Latona Ave NE today at 3 p.m.

Commenter KapsnerHomes left the following explanation as a comment to our report about the house fire at 6309 Latona Ave NE:

I walked by the fire scene with the kids around 1:30 today, and there is a fire hydrant on the east side of Latona just south of 65th that is stuck in the “on” position, sending a steady stream of water down Latona and 65th. The fire fighters hadn’t trouble-shooted it yet, but said they were happy it was stuck in the “on” position instead of the “off” position when they needed it!
