Someone Opened Up a Maine Fire Hydrant & Then Took Off, Police Investigating
According to WGME 13, police are currently searching for a vandal that reportedly opened a fire hydrant on Saturday, left it running and fled the scene.

The Sanford Water District, reported that the gushing water could have 'easily washed out too much damage was done, but this action could have caused serious damage and consequences.'
