mgeary, You are so right about leaving the firefighting to the pro's. You have to also take into account that you might be in the midle of nowhere and need water for a brush fire. We have all seen the pictures of home owners squirting down brush with garden hoses to stop advancing fires.
I have nothing but respect for fire professionals but I do think you have to be ready to take action in the event of an emergency.
My dad is a retired police officer and he always used to say " Firemen are over-rated, it's the water that does all the work."
Thanks for the sprinkler idea though.
