The fireboat is stationed about a 1/4 mile downriver on the Christina. Fireboat 7 had to cross under 3 drawbridges. The first was a breeze, and the second was up as well. But the third -- Market Street Bridge -- doesn't have a designated operator. The crew had to wait for 45 minutes for someone to show up and raise the bridge. Had there been an operator, Fireboat 7 might have beaten some of the land-based companies, and established the primary water supply for the job. FilmLou
