Jarrettsville Hosts MSFA Rural Water Supply Drill

never lost water for two hours. Within 15 minutes the fire flow was raised to 750 gpm and five minutes later to 1000 gpm. Eventually a flow of over 1100 gpm was sustained for the remainder of the drill. Whiteford Engine 611 was also flowing water from their deck gun for various periods at over 1000 gpm. Approximately 175,000 gallons of water was flowed in the span of two hours. When the drill ended at 1140 hours, units dismantled their drafting and fire suppression operations and headed to the Black Horse Station for a well-deserved lunch prepared by the Jarrettsville and Harford County Auxiliary and a debriefing by the MSFA and Jarrettsville Water Supply Committees. There were no injuries or accidents during the drill and it was an excellent training opportunity for everyone involved. Thank you to all the career and volunteer personnel from Maryland and Pennsylvania who gave up their Sunday morning to hone their firefighting skills to better serve the citizens in their communities.
