Fire at the Blakeslee Inn and Restaurant in the Pocono Mountains (Tobyhanna) this morning.

Take a look at this photo of a concrete mixer being used to shuttle water.

I  guess the water was well mixed. ;D  That's what I'd call making use of every available resource.
 
What a shame, the Blakeslee had excellent food. A bit of trivia, the place is owned by the Mattioli family who also own Pocono Raceway.
 
You have to give them points for using available resources.  When you are in a rural water supply situation you have to use what resources you have to get water to the scene.  When I was younger and a firefighter in western New York State I saw many unique ways to haul water being utilized at major fires.  Some were obvious choices, others like the cement mixer this case not quite so obvious.
