Every year we have to get the pumps in the fire engines tested, and for that we take them down to Scotia at the Pacific Lumber pond where they can draft from and then pump back into. The test involves running the pump at full capacity for a number of minutes, which means the hose spray in the picture is running at 1250 gallons per minute. The test ran for about 30 minutes so we probably pumped over 30,000 gallons of water. You can see why it’s helpful to have a pond to draft from and pump back to.
