I worked three years with the boston fire dept, albeit quite a few years ago, and rode into many fires and don't generally remember them being much concerned about hitting *anything* with a high-pressure stream of water if it's on fire. Remember all those rules you know about not using water on electrical or chemical fires? Doesn't really count if you have charged fire hoses and know what you're doing except in some special circumstances (they did foam things occasionally, very occasionally, foam costs money!)
Around here (Silli Valley) the firefighters I know are pretty aware of the risks of electricity. They say that some of them have been fried by UPSes. And hazmat; we have the large containers of WMD-grade-toxic silicon fab gases being shipped around. -george william herbert gherbert () retro com
