| On May 16th, more than 40 folks from several departments in the Candia, New Hampshire area spent their Sunday afternoon hauling water with tankers during a 2-hr water supply drill that was the culmination of our 16-hr Rural Water Supply Operations Seminar hosted by the Candia VFD. The crews used nine tankers and several engines to haul water for 2-hours. Three fill sites were used and each provided about a 2 to 3-mile round trip. A peak flow of 1000 gpm was obtained. Instructors for the weekend were Mark Davis and Tim Legore. |
