Does ~15 seconds of a narrow view tell the whole story? There was a (blocking?) tree on the right side where the firemen passed by; perhaps the guy was trying to create more openings for the firefighters (and equipment?) to get through.

Okay. I was just anticipating the internet/media blowback this poor schmuck will inevitably we subjected to, and I wanted to get in his corner, for what it’s worth.
I’ll stop right now.
Not one word.
Nope.
Don’t say I didn’t stop.
Because I did.
Did you see me stop?
I stopped.
See?

I stopped defending the lock-whacking guy, that to allow others to have fun, fun, fun (even though defending him was fun for me; oh, the sacrifices I make every day).

but I wonder if the ridiculed guy had good reasons trying to break the lock.

I thought they’d just lift it off the hinges.
If the fire fighters were my dogs, they’d all just stand there waiting for the gate to be opened.
I was fixing the track on our sliding glass door, so I took the non-sliding part off. They stood there, right next to the huge wide open hole, whining to be let out.
It’s a good thing they’re cute.

How are the fire engines going to get through that little slit? Or do they not need them?

A guy. A lock. A big bodacious tool.
Something’s bound to happen.
