The goal was to evaluate this location as an alternate water supply that could be used for any larges fires in the area. Henry Lovett from Water Supply Innovations LLC assisted by providing (2) Turbo Draft appliances. The Turbo Draft allows us to draft water from the source without needing to use hard sleeves. Engine 88 and Engine 7 each used a Turbo Draft to pump water via (2) 5" supply lines about 600ft to Ladder 7 and Tower 88. The total flow was around 1,000gpm.
