there are other examples. for example, the Chief of the Port
Henry department in upstate NY oversees a district that
is adjacent to Lake Champlaign, so you would think he has
a big enough water source. but the RR tracks running down his
side of the lake frequently carry huge trains loaded with
light crude oil. if one derails and catches fire, he can't
get to the lake.

AFAIK you should not try to extinguish burning petrol or oil with water, 
because it will distribute the fire over a larger area, but will not stop it. 
You could dig trenches or use different extinguishing substances.
