On Sunday May 18th departments from across the state of New Jersey participated in a full scale water supply drill. “Building The Water Supply Infrastructure”, was ran through JCK Academy and the Suburban Chiefs Association of Mercer, Middlesex & Monmouth Counties. In the prior 3 weeks dozens of firefighters from the state gained critical skills for establishing water supply in areas without hydrants; or when the hydrant system becomes overwhelmed or fails. During Sundays full-scale exercise, they successfully sustained nearly 3,000 gallons per minute using just tankers.The drill included over 30 departments from over 6 counties.
