This suggests that there may be a lucrative market for a remote-control hose dragger.

Incredible.
You'd think that with all the brain power of MIT, Harvard, BU, and Route 128,
there would be some sort of robotic carriage unit that could carry hoses into an area and
suppress a fire without risking human life.

I hate to be cynical, but I wonder if some officials of the firefighter assoications
(unions) might either fear or not understand the utility of such a thing.

Boy, that stinks. Just waiting for the passing wind to ignite a gas explosion.
