Hardly anyone has fire suppression sprinklers though, so my use (and anyone else with fire suppression) wouldn't matter. That, and it only flows 1 GPM (or is it CFM? Having difficulty making sense of my water meter). This is my 2 sprinklers running.
What percent of neighborhoods have hydrants anyhow? Mine does, but it seems somewhat uncommon.

I have 2 of those exact storage vessels, except mine have diesel in them. I'll light 'em up, you put 'em out.
