are you saying they don’t use water storage tanks in/for the subdivisions that are built?

They absolutely do, but they are used for residential water. Why not add several more tanks dedicated to firefighting?

building water tanks on top of strategically selected ridges.

Well, good luck with that.  That will go over about as well as windmills in Ted Kennedy's backyard.  These tanks might interfere with some spider, spore, or lichen not to mention the aesthetics.

Yes, build them in advance of the housing, let the housing catch up with the tanks. I still like your idea. Pipe lines laid to the tanks could become fire breaks too. Hey we’re just brain storming here. Although mine is more like a sprinkle.
