[quote="CVPost-oldproudvet"](quoted from post at 08:35:21 03/17/18) Lot's of years on a rural fire dept, and every time we came to a fire the farmer, and maybe a couple of neighbors are trying throw pails of water, or squirt from a garden hose. Sad to be in a house and see them filling pots in the kitchen sink because they can't get water! They've their own well! Our house on the farm I ran a dedicated 1" copper line from the pressure tank to ea floor into a closet. Ea floor has a gate valve and 25 ft of surplus canvas fire hose. Very simple, but if lightning strikes, wood stove goes nuts, Christmas tree explodes, you can deal with it. An old auction 500 gal poly water tank sits on an old hay rack with a pump. I can use it to fill pasture stock tanks, water trees or squirt on a grass fire until help arrives......... High pressure water on a grass fire just blows it all over and starts new areas.......... My thoughts. Simple/cheap and effective[/quot
I was thinking of something like that . Installing a frost hydrant between the submersible pumped well and the pressure tank in the house .
Some of my house interior has domestic sprinklers . I still have to finish installing a sprinkler in the kitchen, laundry room and garage .
