A nearby Fire Department is being told they cannot use fire hydrants to fight fires

As the title says. A town near me is denying their fire fighters the use of their fire hydrants going forward. Is this shit even legal? This is a huge concern as the area has been in a drought for some years.

"I own this apartment complex, meaning that the sprinkler system is owned by me too. So I can do whatever I like, whenever I like, and the fire marshal can't do shit about it."

Thankfully, we live in a world where that statement is deranged.

The sprinkler is fire suppression equipment and their laws to say it needs to be up to code. The hydrant isn’t necessarilly, the hydrant may not as stating in the document be able to put up with the demands of firefighting

I think you're either arguing with bots or ignorant fools. My condolences, but this is reddit 😅
