The doorbell rang and  I was informed by a neighbor that there was a fire out back in the woods.  The home owners closest to the fire were using their hoses to wet down the flames.  A lot more smoke than fire, but windy.  The KC fire department arrived and couldn't locate a working hydrant.  ETA All ended well, however, I can't wait to hear an explanation.

I have no idea.  I expect to hear something in the next day or two.

Maybe they're still frozen from a couple weeks ago

Looks like that has been a on going issue. This fire happened in 2018 and the hydrants last inspection was in 2013.
