Question:

why isn't the water from a backyard pool used to protect a house during a fire?

Im from SoCal which was recently ravaged by fires, I saw many lots where a house once stood where the only thing left was swimming pools full of water. Am i the only one that sees something wrong with that picture? If i owned a house with a pool i would have a pump at the ready to save my home. better yet, why doesnt the FD use every resource available to try and save homes? I.E. just make that hose i saw hanging from helicopters thats used to suck up water from nearby ponds etc. a little longer, and suck up the pool water when and where possible? or how bout this, they evacuated some 500,000 ppl, Is there nothing any of the young willing and able can do in this time of desperation to help fight these fires? WHAT, CANT THE FD PUT THOSE WILLING TO VOLUNTEER TO WORK? am i so crazy to see this as a huge unused resource?

Answer:

Yes! Bondo is just the polyester resin with a filler material to give it some bulk and a putty consistency rather than a runny liquid. You might need to experiment a bit to figure the amount to use to obtain the setting time you need.
Nope .. When there deleted.. There gone
As in a radar detector or a CB type radio/police scanner? Both are legal in the state, but cities have the right to give you a ticket for a radar detector, some states dont even allow certain ones. How about you do the other 99.9% of the people on the road a favor and obey the traffic laws. Nothing is important enough to risk the lives of those around you as well as your own. Besides, driving 20mph over the speed limit over a 5 mile period of time doesn't even save you a minute.
