There are a lot of variables that need to be known before answering a question like that.
Depending on what building or fire code applies the answers can vary, also the location of the shed with respect to exposure of other buildings or public ways can factor in and in a lot of cases with a Class III combustible, there may not be any need whatsoever for any kind of fixed fire protection. There needs to be some code research performed and you need to know what the material is. You can spray all the water you want on certain types of combustible liquids and accomplish nothing, you may need foam or foam-water. Too many unknowns here. Craig L.
