A dumpster pushed into the street Monday afternoon rolled down Carlmont Drive and caused a small river of water to flow to Alameda de las Pulgas when it sheared off a fire hydrant.
At approximately 2:50 p.m., Belmont police and fire personnel responded to a report of a runaway dumpster that had struck a fire hydrant. Upon arrival, responders found that a dumpster, that had been outside an apartment complex under renovation, rolled down Carlmont Drive, across the intersection of Carlmont and Village drives and collided with a fire hydrant. The sheared off hydrant wedged under the dumpster stopping it from continuing down the hill toward Alameda de las Pulgas, according to police.
According to witnesses, two teenage boys pushed the dumpster, which contained construction debris, from the sidewalk and into the intersection of Carlmont and Village drives. The two boys, who are being sought by police, are described as white males, one wearing a red and black sweatshirt and jeans and the other was wearing a blue sweatshirt and jeans. One of the boys was carrying a backpack. They were last seen running west up Carlmont Drive toward Hastings Drive, according to police.
While the water was able to be shut off within 10 minutes, the 2100 block of Carlmont Drive was closed until 5 p.m. when the dumpster was removed. Anyone with information on this incident is asked to call Belmont police at (650) 595-7400.
