As for the water tanks in the movie, if I remember correctly
they really didn't come into the story until towards the end and I
believe that Steve McQueen does end up rupturing them so that the
water spills down the building into the fire.
Steve McQueen? Yup that is an old movie! I was thinking about it at
work, I guess I do recall the water coming down the stairs in the movie.
I guess the water in tanks does make sense. Being so tall, it is
probably needed just to get water anywhere.
