The FDNY issued the criminal court summons to Quinaysa Arnold following the Feb. 12 blaze on Anthony Ave. near E. Burnside Ave. that killed a monk and a visitor to the USA Buddhayaram Temple.

It’s the first time a section of the city’s fire code has been used to fine a driver of a car blocking a fire hydrant.

A driver was fined $4,000 for parking in front of a fire hydrant and blocking firefighters during a fatal fire in the Bronx, FDNY says.

A Bronx driver is facing a $4,000 fine after parking in front of a fire hydrant during a deadly fire, delaying firefighters’ response. The FDNY is cracking down on this dangerous violation after two fatal fires earlier this month—one in the Bronx and another in Brooklyn—where blocked hydrants slowed emergency crews from battling the flames.

The FDNY slapped a woman with a $4,000 fine for having her car parked in front of a hydrant when a deadly Bronx fire broke out — marking the first time the department issued a criminal summons for the infraction.
