On November 14, 2021 more than 50 folks from throughout Central Maryland gathered at the Winfield Community VFD to hone their skills hauling water during a 2-hr rural water supply drill. The drill culminated our 16-hr Rural Water Supply Operations Seminar which was sponsored and hosted by the Winfield Community VFD. Saturday morning the 13th was spent in the classroom reviewing the best practices of hauling water using tankers. Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning were spent outdoors refining dump site and fill site operations. Sunday afternoon....the 2-hr drill.

Five tankers, two engine/tankers, and one engine hauled water for 2-hours over a 5-mile roundtrip. A large pond was used to support two independent loading stations. Flow peaked at about 1200 gpms for the last 52-minutes of the drill. Mark Davis and Tim Legore were our instructors for the weekend. Many thanks to the Winfield Community VFD for hosting the program....the logistical support was excellent. Many thanks also to Ebenezer UMC for allowing us to use there hall space on Saturday morning.
