I notice they are pumping from a lake or pond. Wont work here in Reno, might work n Washoe valley where they had the fires if they can use less than 3 ft of draft. this time of year the truckee river it at minimum flow, less than the 1000 gpm that thing wants. They can increase the flow out of the impoundment lakes, but it takes all day to get here

Might be wrong about the implementation, but it looks like you need to predict where the fire will go just to set it up. Figure large diameter pressure pipe for the feed.........
