I find it incredible that this mass evacuation was pulled off in such circumstances with no loss of life. I hope that fire and emergency crews don't find the remains of anybody that tried to wait out the inferno in their homes, or anyone that was too old or ill to escape on their own.
Some footage I've seen today looked horrific, a complete apocalypse. Water lines exposed in the remaining building foundations fountaining out at low pressure because every line is opened up through the city, and fire pumpers are reducing the pressure all over. Just running around and shutting off all those homes and other buildings main supply valves will assist the fire crews to get adequate pressure.
