And?

Do something with that number to give it some meaning.

A 12" pipe's maximum flow rate is about 4,700 GPM

A 1" pipe's flow at 40 PSI is about 38 GPM

123 open 1" pipes at burned residences will consume the entire flow of a 12" main and probably result in a sucking sound when a hydrant on that main is opened.
