Although we're assuming a tank may not be the best form-factor to use when fighting fires, we commend the Hungarians on their ingenuity — a team of Hungarian engineers have created the ultimate fire extinguisher by removing the gun turrets from an old Russian tank, replaced them with 2 turbines from a MiG-21 fighter jet, and shoving gallons upon gallons of water through the twin-barrels of water-power slapped on top. The result, as you see in front of you, is the first ever jet-powered sprinkler. Epic — we'll take two.
