Dump Site Operations #26 - Multiple Suctions - New Hampshire
By President Mark Davis
December 15, 2022
A few photos from our 2013 seminar in Chichester, New Hampshire. The folks did a nice job of getting multiple suctions into the primary dump tank so that they could maximize their drafting capacity. Chichester 54-Engine-1 (1500 gpm) operated as the dump site pumper and supported a water supply operation that started with a "rural hitch." When operating as the water source pumper work to get as much water into your pumper as possible regardless if using a pressurized fire hydrant or drafting from a static water source.
Always work to get multiple suction lines in place when operating as the drafting pumper at the water source.
Chichester 54-Engine-1 (1500 gpm) operated this 4-dump tank operation.
