yeah, plus the electricity you would be using to pump 6000 gpm would be just plain stupid.

Just for reference. A typical Fire Engine (not truck - trucks have ladders) has a (approximate) 600hp turbocharged diesel engine and can pump 1500 gpm. However, you can differentiate between volume and pressure.

If you could find a good used pump this could be built for under 50k.
