    maybe I'm a dumbass kicking outta my coverage here, but is there any reason that all all those coastal communities backing up to the wildland interface don't have a completely separate fire suppression system that uses sea water pumping stations? I know salt water is gnarly on mechanical systems, but seems like a dry hydrant in fire season is gnarlier?
