March Madness<\/a> is in full swing.<\/p>\n

No. 9 TCU pulled off one of this year\u2019s first upsets, outlasting No. 8 Ohio State in the first round Thursday. The ninth seed taking down the eighth seed became an early theme in this year’s NCAA Division I men’s basketball tournament<\/a>, with all four No. 9 seeds defeating their No. 8 opponents.<\/p>\n

But as fans keep a close eye on the college basketball action, the New York City Fire Department shared a reminder about fire hydrant protocol and safety amid the excitement.<\/p>\n

“It’s March Madness \u2014 and blocking shots is part of the game. But blocking a fire hydrant? That’s never OK,” the fire department wrote on X.<\/a><\/p>\n

The FDNY added that vehicles parked at fire hydrants can cause delays in critical moments.<\/p>\n

“Parking on fire hydrants is ILLEGAL in New York City and can delay first responders when seconds matter most. Keep hydrants clear so FDNY members can quickly get water on a fire. Don’t park on fire hydrants.”<\/p>\n

A campaign spotlighting another New York City department continues to strengthen ties to the sports world. The “Thank You, NYPD” movement is an ongoing effort to show appreciation for officers.<\/p>\n

The campaign has encouraged residents to upload videos expressing appreciation for the department. St. John\u2019s<\/u><\/a> head coach Rick Pitino was among those who responded, thanking those he said have helped maintain a safe city environment.<\/p>\n

“I want to give a sincere thanks to the NYPD officers who do such an incredible job to keep our city safe,” Pitino said Friday in a video posted to Madison Square Garden\u2019s Instagram account. “Thank you so much.”<\/p>\n

Pitino\u2019s show of gratitude came just hours before the Red Storm\u2019s 79-53 win over Northern Iowa in the first round of the NCAA Tournament Friday.<\/p>\n
