Question:

How lont should it take for a fire department to get water on a fire, after arriving at the scene?

We had a small roof fire after the roofer fixed a leak. He used a torch to melt the membrain roofing. Once the fire trucks arrived (4 trucks 10-20 firemen) it took 15-18 minutes for them to get water on the fire. I was using my hose to control and knock out all visible flames. But I was stopped by the police and had to watch the fire reignite and cause more damage.

Answer:

yes. but.. you'll not be able to use them both at the same time and have either one work well just don't wash dishes while the washer's running..or you'll not get enuff water for the dish cycle
The best choice is low end MIG (metal in gas) welder which will cost about $150-200 if you rent the gas tanks ($10-15/month) or add $200 if you buy. A MIG welder will let you work more metals, including aluminum, of a greater range - although low cost will limit you on thickness - than other choices. It also almost automatically makes neat welds. You will also need to spend about $50 for safety gear - gloves, apron, face guard and eye protection - which can cost more.
