Congratulations to Chief Ira Walker, Jr. and the folks at the Eureka VFD in Stewartstown, Pennsylvania for achieving "1,000 GPM Club" member status. Over 40 participants from the Eureka VFD and other nearby fire departments attended our 16-hr Rural Water Supply Operations Seminar which culminated in a 2-hr water supply drill. Using just eight tankers and two fill sites, the crews were able to start flowing 600 gpm at the 5-minute mark, move to 1,100 gpm at the 60-minute and hold that flow through the remainder of the drill. This feat included overcoming the loss of one fill site pumper at the 106-minute mark.

The group of participants became the 7th member of the GBW Associates, LLC "1,000 GPM Club." Congratulations. A full summary will be posted in a few weeks. Instructors for the weekend were Mark Davis and Alan Butsch.

Plus...the t-shirt raffle resulted in the 49th GotBigWater brick in the Walk of Honor at the NFFF Memorial!
