(I live Burnley Rd/Queens Rd area)

Thats a load of bull droppings from UU, I've never heard of water mains being diverted to put a fire out, and the fact your up on Queens Rd, makes it even more ficticious.
The water mains in Church St area vary between 6 - 12 inches, a stand pipe has only a 2 1/2 inch outlet, so even 4 stand pipes on a 6" main could still be supplied. Don't forget there is another supply not 10 lengths of hose away, on the corner of Cross St, "The River H"
UU want to get some new script writers.
