For using an electrical driven fire pump, it's possible needs a emergency back up power or a backup diesel pump.
For using a diesel pump, you need to review the local environmental (EPA) requirements before purchase.

-are there good maintenance personnel to take care of an diesel driven pump, I agree with stookey, diesel are not so reliable if they are not well maintained?
-if there is a good existing backup power system, an electric engineer that is aware of the NFPA 20 requirements for the tranference should be consulted to think of an electric pump connected to the existing backup power system.
