Why aren’t homes in wildfire prone areas protected by a sprinkler system?

Is there anything stopping me from an engineering standpoint installing a water tower on my property and making sprinklers around a radius of my home to drench the area in case of wildfire?

Two reasons,
one fire area is in drought areas there is not enough water to allow every house to have firehouses. Second Forrest fires are so crazy hot and big that water is not all that effective.
