In urban areas, in most cases, the Engines no longer even carry the hose required to SUCK the water out. (Hard Suction) The Engine and Hoses have to be within 10-15' of the Pool. It takes awhile to set up the hoses, and prime the pump. Etc Etc Etc.

Helicopters with buckets can some times use backyard pools, large ponds, but if there are trees, power lines, or other obstructions forget that.....
