Recently on a housing estate in Corby, vandals let off a fire hydrant which caused local flooding, disrupting motorists and householders.
When the fire hydrant was turned on, it caused thousands of gallons of water to collect causing a lake in the street. Children were playing in the water which was up to their waists, making it dangerous. Traffic had to be diverted in the area and a taxi was said to have got stuck in the road.
Work had to be carried out by Anglian Water to turn off the fire hydrant, which was causing a nuisance to cars and local people.
We do not know of any injuries caused to the public due to the escape of water.

Whilst walking along the M23 motorway at around 1.50am on Sunday, the school boy believed to be Scott Turner, who was named on a social networking site, was killed as he was knocked down and run over by several cars in a tragic road accident.
The teenager from Burgess Hill was hit by several cars including a police car as well as an ambulance whilst in the road. The traffic accident happened between the junctions 10 and 10a. This stretch of road is near Gatwick Airport Crawley.
The accident meant the road was closed for more than eight hours as investigations were carried out.
It is thought that Scott had been arguing with his dad at a wedding reception before going for a walk.
A police spokeswoman said “One of the vehicles to hit the boy was an unmarked police car, which was not responding to an incident”. The independent Police Complaints Commission has been informed as a matter of standard procedure.
