No wonder your interior pictures are so well illuminated. Did any of the aerial plumbing lead to this tank? Posted by SoupMeister 6/10/2005 11:34 PM | remove   It was a bright day (on and off), and this is Greece after all. Actually, part of the reason I was there was because it had rained torrentially in the morning, and it was Sunday. No-one around at all. I didn't check the plumbing carefully -- I was running out of time by that point, and wanted to see as much as possible before heading off. Something to check next time, I suppose.

Posted by SoupMeister 6/16/2005 7:21 AM | remove   Let me see if I recall this correctly (Useless Fact #329, saw this in a book 20 years ago). The roof windows over the fire are opened, and all the others are closed, so there's less oxygen for the fire to spread fast, and the smoke still escapes. Then these windows are shut too, and the fire is fought. All this assumes the windows aren't smashed and that the fire doesn't break them. Posted by Emperor Wang 6/16/2005 10:26 AM | remove   Sounds plausible. But I wouldn't want to be the guy trying to get at the windows directly above the fire!
