Thank God the inventors of Cinemascope knew enough to orient the camera to landscape.
If low water pressure was a "problem", was it a pre-existing condition that "should" have been known to the responding department and the apparatus response modified to provide for a better water supply? Surely a pre-fire inspection and/or annual hydrant testing would reveal most short-comings in water supply and dispatch protocols altered to reflect resposes to specific properties that may require a high water flow for fire suppression.
