I put on my driving suit and helmet and look like a fool, but its my home and I'll do what i got to. You just can't count on the FD at all. I'm working on a filter air pack to hook to my helmet, smoke inhalation is my concern.
They found a guy dead with a garden hose in his hand yesterday with black nostrils.
Edit: Be tired of it in PARF.

I like the pump idea. A plan for if the fire surrounds you would be a must.
edit, With a dive tank and a weight belt could possibly hide underwater, just don't pump it all out.
