Water not available nearby? Wow
Non Hydrated means no fire hydrants.. Now when I worked at a plant that had that problem we had our own fire wells, big a** diesel engine as well as electric pumps and could flood the place easily but that is often not the issue in places like this.
There is water "Nearby" (I have spent a bit of time in that area, in fact my wife's engagement ring was purchased in Kalamazoo). but, Well.. What I call "Nearby" can be a long distance for a fire truck.
This is, as someone said, a basically rural area. The good news is in Michigan you are never a really long distance from water. (I forget the maximum but it's not more than a couple miles) just not handy on site.
Some states it can be 20 miles or more to the nearest puddle big enough to tank a fire tanker.
