[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 4237894, member: 44288"] Years ago when the fires came close to my cousin's house, he was adamant he could use a hose from his well to water down his house, except when the fire department cut the electric lines. I had the idea of setting up an oscillating sprinkler on my roof during a fire to keep my roof wet. I also had the idea of an external fire sprinkler system for homeowners. I would essentially use PVC and fittings for indoor sprinkler systems and hook it up to the pump run by my Generac or the public water system. In my area, I have over 150 lbs pressure. In fact, I have to throttle the pressure at the city shutoff valve or I will have severe water hammer even with those anti-hammer things installed. The pipe could be fastened temporarily to the roof and the sprinkler heads could be adjusted to cover the roof and the surrounding grounds around the house. [/QUOTE]
