With regards to water, I too am a volunteer fire fighter and we also have a lack of water in many areas which is why we rely so heavily on mutual aid and tanker trucks. They would likely have sucked a small pond dry in a short time. I was actually very amazed at how quickly these fire departments had this fire under control. Shows that they had great communication and team work.
Battery/trickle charger related was my first guess. Like you said, they'll probably never know.
You're right, they had some good crews working that one. Most of the ponds around me are at least ~100'x40' and some are as much as 18' deep so they're pretty decent size.
