The Skaneateles (New York) Fire Department sponsored and hosted our 16-hr Rural Water Supply Operations Seminar on June 10th and 11th. As customary, on June 11th, the seminar culminated with a 2-hr water supply drill using tankers to shuttle water. Crews were able to support a peak flow of 750 gpm using seven tankers. The weekend was full of practical skill exercises covering a variety of water supply setups. Instructors for the program were Alan Butsch, Chris Reilly, and Sam Henry. A complete summary will be posted in a few days. |
