The fan I have in mind is the kind attached to radiators in cars and can be
quite powerful in combination with free flowing vents.
I presume you mean a pump to fight a fire. I have a 2" pump with a B&S gas
engine, three 9' suction hoses and a 1 1/2" fire hose and nozzle. I also have
a seawater washdown seawater pump I can quickly put a garden hose on to fight
a fire but it will not run if I have to shut down the 12 volt house buss.
Some sort of portable pump in a 5 gallon pail with it's own battery, suction
and pressure hoses all coiled up and ready to go might work. I once saw a
very small 2-cycle gas powered pump in a local store that would be ideal. Maybe
an Internet search would find one.
