You won't see hustle like this anymore.

What I don't understand is how often they don't have a water supply, in current day situations.

[@Wa3ypx]

@@moemcgovern7345 It depends on rural or urban settings and even to the municipalities. In my case, I was a firefighter in a city of 175,000. We had farm land in the city, but with our water system, we hydrants spaced 500ft apart in the rural areas just like in the downtown.

If they did this today...osha would have a heart attack

Get out of the building first; then call the firefighters from a neighbor house.
