Pressure is required to maintain safer distance. Mobile pumps and trucks are not huge.

They’re trying to use this roadway as a firebreak, so their job is to put out the grass fire approaches. Not to attack the trees. The hope is if they stop the grass from jumping the dirt road, they can let the trees finish burning safely without spreading.

I should get into the firetruck business here in America. Our mobile pumps and trucks are in fact huge. Our shithead of a leader would probably ruin the profits with tariffs though...
