Hmmmm. I dunno, Paul - I think if I was working on a hydrant and some idiot came along and set it off, interfering with my work, I'd be kind of ticked. <G> I'm presuming that if the fire dept would have set the hydrant off 'a couple of hours later' that when they intended it to be set off. If they'd intended/wanted it set off there and then, they'd have done it themselves!

I'm also presuming that - in order to ensure that water pressure/supply is maintained that this kind of maintenance needs to be done a certain way. So there's no guarantee that Superman's actions wouldn't mess things up, endanger lives, even if all he's doing is something the fire dept might do themselves later. The timing might be all important.

Still seems a very OOC thing for Clark to do.

Athos: If you'd told us what you were doing, we might have been able to plan this properly.
Aramis: Yes, sorry.
Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.
