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?

Basically wildfires burn so hot and are so massive and so powerful that the amount of water it would actually take to do anything that this is basically just…impossible.
The amount of water it would take is just sooo much. That even ignoring the cost of doing that you would end up with a property that has so much water damage that it basically worthless.
It’s better to just not spend money doing that and just let it burn, or do do a lot of other cheaper things. Like creating firebreaks.
Real world sprinkler systems really only work because they are able to activate as soon as a fire starts, and stop it before it can start to spread. But with a wildfire it’s too late for that.
