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

Question

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?

Answer 1

Probably the amount of water you are going to realistically need to keep the fire from encroaching. That is going to be a big water tower depending on how big your property is.
