I have 3-40 GPM Sprinklers perminently on my roofs run by a 125 gpm 75 psi gasoline opperated pump. This is all hooked to a 6,000 gallon under ground tank. I can turn it on when things get close and HOT and it will run for about 1 hour and I feed my well into it at the same time. Sure does a good job of wetting things down fast! Just a little extra protection and I am building my own fire truck also with a 1,200 gal tank and pump set up. I also have about 1,000 ft of 1 1/2' fire hose, several nozzles, Barricade and a portable tank on a trailer with a pump I can pull behind my tractor for spot fires and clean up.

Nothing like watching a Fire Ball over your house for about 30 mins and it still being there when you go back in!! Mark H.
