I'm sure gas would be cut off in the event of a fire of that magnitude, but are you arguing that diesel delivery would continue? Trucks rolling through the maelstrom? I'm not sure what your point is here.Gas being turned off usually affects a few city blocks.
As a volunteer FF ... Actually, if a fire affects a few city blocks, there will be quite a few diesel trucks rolling if its a block of any magnitude. Cummins turbo diesels pumping 2000GPM out a ladder pipe drink a lot of diesel. Its not uncommon at all to refuel them on the fly with courtesy of your friendly BP delivery driver and its also fairly common to park an 1-1/2" fog stream underneath the truck fogging the exhaust lest we burn a hole through the pavement ... You'd have better odds of finding a diesel truck than the gas line being on with a large fire.
