Fire Hydrant Water Fountain
I heard it before I saw it. Thousands of gallons of water shooting into the air, splashing onto the ground and flowing down the street.
Broken Fire Hydrant Creates A Water Fountain
It turned out that some one knocked over a fire hydrant so a 25 foot water fountain ensued. The La Mesa fire department arrived on the scene and shut down the water. Good job guys!

Through an access near the edge of the street, the firefighters used a T shaped tool turn a subterranean valve that stopped the flow of water. The 1 minute video below was shot with my Nikon D5000.
