Suppose you had an external fire sprinkler system, activate and it sprays water on roof and walls from an internal water and power supply. Kind of replacing the irrigation system for the landscaping you no longer have (because 50' away is in your neighbor's lot). Make a big difference or not really?

I would leave the outdoor irrigation system but put in much larger sprinkler heads (the rotating type) ...ones that you can quickly change to 360-degree rotation. If there is a fire, your neighbor will not mind you soaking his property/yard too and it adds a great deal of distance from your home. The ones near you house can also be turned to 360-degree rotation and soak your house and property (lawn/cleared area). A well and generator would be helpful so you would not be susceptible to power outages/have to store as much water.
