Well today was interesting.
We went shopping in town and when we were heading back to the truck we spotted a small fire.

I didn't take this video but after less than 30 all the connecting shops were ablaze too.
The weird part is there is a fire station about 100yds away and only 1 hose is being used

H&S again probably.
It's too dangerous to fight fires these days.

They probably just thought it was tamrat starting up his heavily smoking surf behind the shop...

We had them blokes out to give us some "fire safety advice" and fit a couple of free smoke alarms....
They came in the engine, which was fun for the little 'un. Then went onto explain, "we can empty all 8 Million litres of water we carry in about 2.5 minutes", or something daft like that, and then went on to say "and then we look for a H water Hydrant....."

...So I had a look, and looked and looked....

"so where is it then?" I asked...

"errr"

was the reply.

"well?"

"Well we never use ALL the water, and we do use it conservatively to begin with...." was the reply.

Seems they're true to their word!
