You're wrong, it doesn't kill them, but ill play along. How are you going to set them on fire? Let me guess, pour diesel on them?

Of course it kills them. They burn. The ones you are talking about were superficially burned. Even those will die off, in time. Just speaking in this world or universe, fire destroys them very slowly. But I am talking about constant fire. This shouldn't even be a debate. Fire, hot enough, will burn everything down to the dirt or rock. No human or zombie could be immune to that.

As far as what they burn them with, there are dozens (hundreds?) of flammable liquids. Even if they didn't set some kind of fire line, dumping those liquids on them would have been a good start. Or making Molotov cocktails and raining them down on the herd. One trip to an auto store and you have tons of oil, grease, by-products, etc to make something. Once again, not that hard..

Do you know how much water moves through a fire hose running wide open? That pond would be drained in minutes.

I don't want to beleaguer this point, as it was really to point out how weak the walkers were that it just took jetted water to kill them. But you drive the truck to the water source and fill them up. Or you put a larger reservoir on the property. You would get about 3-4 minutes with a full truck of water (I just googled it). You put 3-4 trucks in position and you can radically thin the herd. Or put them behind the walls and use it as a 2nd or 3rd line of defense.

As far as stations. I live in southeast Texas. There are 12 fire stations within 90 square miles (I just googled that too) of me. So finding abandoned trucks shouldn't be that hard either.
