Comment on A car parked in front of the fire hydrant hindered the firefighters' intervention, so the team broke two side windows and passed the hose through the inside of the car.

The amount of water in a tank is a fraction of what is needed to tackle a major fire. You’ve got about 3 minutes worth with a branch open at full flow.

Because of that limitation, you also aren’t going to start an internal attack until you have a reticulated supply established, since running out of water while inside a building is a potential death sentence.

If I were in the same position I would have simply run my feeder run around or over the car rather than messing about like this guy.
