It amazes me how someone will hear a lie and repeat it as truth, and fact. If you never lived in a big city where the children would turn the fire hydrants on to cool off during the hot summer. You will know that throughout the city with so many fire hydrants open, you lose pressure And eventually just get a short flow coming out of the hydrant. It’s not a matter of enough water. It’s a matter of pressure. Please use common sense in a little scientific logic.
