1. hydrants are not supposed to freeze no matter how cold it gets

2. fire trucks are not supposed to freeze no matter how cold it gets -
especially a truck with a 400 HP motor

3. relay pumping from distant hydrants takes some skill - maybe the
radio traffic went like this - we have a dead hydrant, send another
pumper - 5 minutes later - we are out of water - retreat, retreat - 10
minutes later - this hydrant is dead also, send another pumper - 20
minutes later - we are all hooked up now - never mind
