ELI5: When a fire occurs and the fire department taps into a fire hydrant, does the water pressure in surrounding buildings drop?

It really depends on where they draw the water from. In a big city, most buildings have their own water tanks/pumps, so they won't be affected. In more suburban or rural areas, it depends on the local infrastructure and if the system is built to handle that kind of flow.
