Davey do a good little firefighter. But if you are going to use it to fight fire as well make sure you don't use any foam in the water or really flush the pump after using it. The surfactants in the foam will not be any good for the fish.
Might be a bit big for what you want tho, as VB said, they Roar the water out! and if you choke them down too much to reduce the flow, the water may heat up in the pump and cause damage.

Check out the figures on those pumps (500Lpm :twisted: )
Code:
Flows to              500lpm
Maximum total head    72m
Maximum suction Lift  7m

Also be very careful of firefighting foam, I killed 50 fish last summer using a tank that I had foam/water in it to cart water to my fish tank. I rinsed the tank lots of times, but surfactants take a lot of rinsing to get rid of.
