Definitely don't let the past description or even system get in the way. It

But there is no reason to continue an error just because it was done that

Not necessarily. Remember the generic phrase: Space on the slope, calc on the
flat. So, you may be at 130 sq ft on the slope, but if it translates to 110 sq
ft on the flat, then you calc for 110 sq ft.

You need to know the method of determining fire flow in your jurisdiction.
Once you know that, determine the fire flow and the number of hydrants req'd
to be used to get that flow.
Then, just simple hazen Williams formulae. You will have starting flow and
pressure. Plug and chug to prove it.
Still only half correct.

Really no different. I doubt you will find longitudinal bracing listed for
