Well, aren't you just so cute. How does one boil water when one has no water, much less fuel?

Boil some string, push, and don't forget to breathe. Tie off the cord twice a couple inches apart, before cutting it. It's been done without medical assistance for right at one million years.

I'm not being cute. Reports in this thread have groupd of 100 people stranded with med emergencies calling for and not receiving help for days. Cops pinned down in their station, about to be overrun, calling for help and not getting it.
One lady having a baby, has to get inventive, because it is all she has. The million year comment sounded cute I know it, but it's the quickest thing I could think of to tell her to take the edge off what must be significant fear. if the OP on that has two way comminications with the lady in labor, I stand by my post. This is beyond a triage situation.
The water doesn't have to be potable, but germ free helps. There's gas in every car on the road and a hubcap or tin can will serve as a pot. If that's beyond her means, tie it off with dirty string. Better than the alternative.
