When we last discussed forest fires (this time last year, I guess), I recall seeing an article about some desperate soul who stood on his roof with a garden hose while the rest of his neighborhood burned down around him (thereby saving his own house). I guess he was real lucky the water mains stayed going.. |

If you stored rainwater in a rooftop tank (by slowly pumping it up from the catch cistern via a windmill), you could convert the tank into a sprinkler in an emergency by having small circumferential holes in the tank sides. |
