As usual, blizz shows just how incompetent they are. Had a good group of us... strange because we're almost a dead server... , but no matter how many buckets we threw, the fires just didn't go out.
Great work, blizz, you managed to screw up something as simple as putting a fire out with water.

It's possible to solo the Azure Watch fires.
In the beginning, try to put out the fires on top of the inn. Have a bucket handy and toss it as soon as HH lights it up (usually on the right side of the inn). Then keep at it until the inn is clear of fire. You'll have to run a bit, but it only takes 3-4 bucket tosses to save the inn.
Then go for the fires on the second building. It will be completely on fire by now, but luckily the water bucket supply is very close. In fact, you won't have to move much at all -- you can toss buckets on the fire from standing at max distance to use the water supply bucket. Clear the fires on the left side of the building first, then work your way right, with priority given to the roof of the building. So: left roof, left bottom, center roof, right roof, right bottom, and then there's a spot on the far right. Since the fires will be maxed out, they'll want to shoot little fires to the left often, so keep an eye out. Good luck!
Update: You can do it without a run speed buff, no problem.
Broken, garbage quest. Don't waste your time.
