North Topeka loses water and fire protection after a large water main on the Kansas River bridge freezes. Pumps fail to keep the line moving and the exhaust pipe stops, despite attempts to thaw the line with burning waste. Wires break from ice on the south bridge side while officials plan quick repairs and prepare alternative firefighting options including the cistern at Norris and Kansas avenues and the chemical engine.
