A Firepool is a holding tank or other storage source for chemically treated water to be used in firefighting. It can be a backup Water source or the chief firefighting water source. A secondary use of a firepool could be for recreational purposes.
The most notable (and possibly only) firepool can be found at South African president Jacob Zuma's Nkandla compound, built as an essential security item for the sum of R3.9m.[1]
