A broken fire hydrant sent a geyser of water skyward this evening in Willits on the 200 block of South Main Street in front of JD Redhouse and Company.
A witness on the scene said law enforcement had a van pulled over near the area of the geyser and were conducting what appeared to be a sobriety test, suggesting the subject could have struck the hydrant.
Videos and images sent to us by a Willits resident were taken around 9:30 p.m. this evening and by 10:30 p.m. crews had successfully stopped the flow of water and secured the scene.
