Heres a general view of the launch pad showing 2 of the 3 flame ducts that evacuate the rocket drives from the launch pad area (one for each of the 2 strap on boosters and one for the main engine)
The massive white tower over on the left is the water tower which can pump 25 cubic meters per second of water onto the pad area. Screen grabbed from the web cast

Wow - they had a camera running at the bottom of the stack and the camera rocked as the boosters lit up at T +7
