Frozen Pipes Lead to Free Car Wash on 1st & Bloomfield

Passersby were treated to a free shower this morning on the corner of 1st & Bloomfield, as a burst sprinkler pipe was shooting water out of the top of the building.

The Hoboken Fire Department responded immediately and shut off the water. No one was injured, but that spot should be pretty slippery as it freezes over this afternoon.

The owners of a silver Jeep Cherokee (NJ Plates) and a white Honda Civic (MD Plates) directly below the sprinkler might consider bringing a pick axe to excavate their vehicles.
