1. A computer-based method for community outdoor fire protection comprising:
A) receiving indicators of a current fire, and responsively determining a level of a current fire risk for each of multiple endpoints, wherein each endpoint includes a water gun and an associated electrical water valve, wherein a predetermined minimum water pressure is specified for operation of each water gun, wherein each electrical water valve connects to a shared water source;
B) according to the current fire risk of each endpoint, determining a relative duty cycle for operating each endpoint;
C) receiving a water pressure measurement of the shared water source and, responsively to the water pressure measurement and to the predetermined minimum water pressure specified for each endpoint operation, determining a maximum number of concurrent endpoints to operate;
D) according to the maximum number of operational endpoints and the relative duty cycles of each endpoint, allocating operation of each endpoint to time slots; and
E) responsively operating the electrical water valve of each of the multiple endpoints according to its time slot allocation.
