Fire Hoses

[Sundance]

It's meant to be a trade-off. An infinite amount of water to drench a fire, but limited to a certain area.

*Cries in lag*

The voting system is wonky as it doesn't tell you how many people voted, so you could have 1 person voting 1 star with no justification behind it. It also doesn't really lend credence behind an idea either, 5 star threads generally are ones with effort behind the idea, but I've seen plenty of 5 star threads that seem completely infeasible.

Moving on, it's a bit jarring that a number of people here immediately think of "what if replace with piss?" instead of "will this fight fires?"

I feel the hose may be used more by staffies to indiscriminately flood places and hose down passerbys, rather than it's intended use. 

Without me being all NO FUN ALLOWED, I don't think this is a bad idea, it does need some refining. 

1. I dont think should be automatically filled for one. I think it should work by having a port system, where liquid tanks (all types) can be wrenched into a port (not unlike canister ports). Yes this means that it's not infinite, but there's a lot of liquid in those tanks.

2. More of a mapping design, but any areas with fire hoses would need also to have drains in conjunction.

3. Engineer locked? Not really too mad about this last point, but it might be something to consider.
