Is it allowed to supply the water needs of the fire protection system from 2 water storage tanks to complete the required amount? we want to build a fire protection system and we have a water storage tank but it doesn`t have the total capacity. If it is possible, what else should I consider?

NFPA 22 has no limitation on the size or number of tanks.

The system consist of yards mains, outdoor fire hydrants, a fire pump and the water storage tank, for the protection of a power plant. I`ve found the NFPA 20 talks about multiple pumps (a single suction pipe suplies more than one pump) but I haven´t found in this standard the arrangement where multiple tanks suply one single pump. Tank you for your replay!
