[quote="CVPost-oldproudvet"](quoted from post at 08:35:21 03/17/18) Lot's of years on a rural fire dept, and every time we came to a fire the farmer, and maybe a couple of neighbors are trying throw pails of water, or squirt from a garden hose. Sad to be in a house and see them filling pots in the kitchen sink because they can't get water! They've their own well!
