A damaged fire hydrant soaked the intersection of 4th St. E and 9th Ave E. around 4 a.m. on Saturday morning.

East flat resident Alvin Gamble told paNOW was taking out the trash when he saw water rising over the rooftops of nearby homes.

When he arrived at the scene, it appeared a black car had hit the hydrant on 4th St. E., launching a tall jet of water into the air.

The Prince Albert Fire Department confirmed they responded to a call about a hydrant being hit in the early hours of Saturday morning, but were unable to provide additional details at this time.
