I like the idea of having something to start fighting the fire before the volunteer fire fighters in the area get to my house. The Fire Fighters in the area also use my pond as a source for pumpable water for fires in the neighborhood. I guess if the intake for the hydrant comes from deep water it would also be a means to recirculate water from below the thermocline. Just turn the thing on and spray the water back into the pond.? When I move up to Washington I plan on joining the volunteer force, Then I will have a better idea to response times. But I still like the idea of being able to fight the fire myself before help arrives.
