Situations like this are why I have felt for a long time that power companies should have code 3 response vehicles, or code 3 escorts. This particular fire isn't that bad, but many devastating fires have been caused by downed power lines, and the longer you wait for the power company the worse it gets.

@Ssj31234 most engines carry at least 500 gallons of water. Normally it used until the hoses are hooked up
