Fortunately Willy I don't have the potential fire problem you do. The creek is 34 feet from the house and 28 feet below the cellar floor, and I am seriously considering boring a 3" line down to the creek for that Oh CRAP day, just in case.

Because I have trememendous faith in the IAFF members at the local 5.7 million dollar firehouse, I also maintain a fleet of 47 extinguishers here ranging from water to Halon which I have no hesitation about using. Since I was smart enough to install a 3Ø service back in the 60s, a pump will be no problem if I decide to install one.

Once I get the steel roof on my plan is for a misting system to cool the house at minimal cost but I may need to build a low energy use pump for that.
You're ahead of a new proposed Fed regulation on roof watering, there are a couple companies currently offering modified rainbirds for suppression and hoping for mandate to make their fortune. Somebody will probably come along and insist your system doesn't meet some code and demand you replace it.

The 3/4 "garden hose" nozzle is for a prototype 100 gal water & Co2 system that may evolve into a extinguishing system for Green Combines. I still need to do some experimentation with adding foam to that. It will also provide additional low cost fire safety in welding operations. 100 gallons beats hell out of 5 gallons in my thinking.
