The Chichester Firefighters Association and the Chichester Fire Department (New Hampshire) hosted our 16-hr Rural Water Supply Operations Seminar this past weekend. This was our second visit to Chichester deliverying the rural water supply seminar and once again we had a great time working with the folks from that region. Saturday was spent reviewing the basics of hauling water with tankers and Sunday was spent practicing the skills needed to be successful in tanker shuttle operations.
Instructors for the seminar were Mark Davis and Tom Coe. Also - the "famed," Big Camel FD T-shirt and hat raffle produced the 42nd brick for the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial's Walk-of-Honor!
A full summary of the drill will be posted in a few weeks.

Doin' it with a 3-dump tank operation.
This portable pump helped to make this fill site a really functional fill site - filling tankers much faster than 1,000 gpm.
