<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Ah, yes. But those Fire Buckets contain Sand, not Water!
Note the little roof over the Buckets to keep most of the Rain Water out. (Most Fire Buckets on the Railway contain Sand. Water can leak or evaporate, Sand tends to remain viable.)
& of course sand buckets are useful for cigarette butts...........
