I don’t see what the problem is. Have the fire department deploy a couple of engines after they’ve pulled a large diameter hose from nearby fire hydrants, Use two hand lines each and the deck guns for longer range.
See how they like being WET rats for a change. In this weather, they’ll have to piss themselves to get warm.
This is what I’ve been advocating since all this crap started: Dogs, fire hoses and CS gas. And a nice wood shampoo for the stragglers.
