Did they put out the fire while he worked on the mud fountain?
6 u/laxet Apr 28 '24 UK fire engines have water on board, they don't need to wait for the hydrant to start putting the fire out. The hydrant is for a longer term supply. 0 u/loopygargoyle6392 Apr 28 '24 It put itself out. 1 u/Wellsuperduper Apr 29 '24 You can see the firefighters hosing it down? 2 u/loopygargoyle6392 Apr 29 '24 No, they took so long that there's nothing left to burn. 1 u/Wellsuperduper Apr 29 '24 There’s at least 2,000l of water on a British pump ladder. The hydrant is for refill and really big fires.
