Pointing a real high pressure (30 bar, 3000l/min) firehose at someone at close range is not a good idea, given that a single person could have trouble controlling it. Just the hydrant without intermediate pump would be around 3 bar pressure which would still make you extremely wet even if you manage to stay upright.
