Good point--but was the radiator out of the car, sitting on the ground at 
the time? In that case, you'd get lots of flow but perhaps not so much 
pressure, as the only restriction would be caused by the radiator itself and not 
the rest of the cooling system.

That said, I'd be surprised if any radiator could withstand massive 
pressure, and would imagine that the fire hose was throttled back more than a bit 
(which is the smart thing to do).

Sounds like a great solution--well done!
