Actually, if a fire affects a few city blocks, there will be quite a few diesel trucks rolling if its a block of any magnitude. Cummins turbo diesels pumping 2000GPM out a ladder pipe drink a lot of diesel. Its not uncommon at all to refuel them on the fly with courtesy of your friendly BP delivery driver and its also fairly common to park an 1-1/2" fog stream underneath the truck fogging the exhaust lest we burn a hole through the pavement ... You'd have better odds of finding a diesel truck than the gas line being on with a large fire.
