Not a lot. A fire fighting pump found on most fire engines is the centrifugal type. Other than the amount of water it may flow and the number of discharges it can supply, there is no difference (although I'm not sure what "ordinary centrifugal pump" refers to unless it is a trash or sump pump). Centrifugal type pumps weren't always used in the fire service, but they are the standard now because they can spin (they can pump or maintain pressure) even when there is no water actually flowing.
It might be just one of semantics. Both a fire fighting pump and a fire water pump pump water to fight fires. But don't look for the term fire water pump. And for sure don't use it. It's an "awkward" term. The fire fighting pump might be used on an engine or on a sprinkler system, to name just two applications.
