It's like taking a wiss in the ocean, but it still helps. Most fire nozzles operate at 100 psi. Probably 50 GPM is decent. A ball park number is a 2 1/2 in hose will put out five times as much water as a 1 1/2 inch hose. All that being said a good rule of thumb is a fire doubles every munite, so it simply has to help. If you have any questions go visit your local fire department. Most of those folks will help you out, maybe even give you some old hose and a nozzle, mose departments have a bunch laying around. Maybe they might be up steping a pump that they may make you a deal on. I could go on and on, but if you are alone dragging hose any distance, you may want to consider forestry hose, it's smaller, but a whole lot less problem to drag around.
