Around here the unincorporated places and others (even those completely surrounded by a village or city with municipal water) have well and septic tank so there are no municipal hydrants near them. And the huge cost to add sewer and water has many of those residents voting against installing/connecting when it comes up.

Think our pumper trucks have some reserve water capacity but I don't think we have any tanker trucks because of the municipal hydrants. Fire is bad, loss of goods is one part, but take a trip to a burn ward once, awful. Hope everyone gets thru it ok.
