1he purpose of Lhe
semlnar and drlll was Lo
revlew Lhe baslcs of large
dlameLer hose (LuP) and
relay pumplng operauons
ln a non-hydranLed
semng.
1he drlll also allowed
muLual ald companles Lo

1he Semlnar
1he semlnar sLarLed wlLh a 4-hour
classroom sesslon Lo revlew Lhe
prlnclples of LuP and relay
pumplng operauons.
1he revlew sesslon was held aL
8oosevelL llre ulsLrlcL's SLauon 2
locaLed ln Pyde ark, new ?ork.
Semlnar Loplcs lncluded Lhe Lypes
of LuP and LuP appllances, LuP
operauons and besL pracuces, and
Lhe key polnLs of relay pumplng
operauons.
Semlnar paruclpanLs were from
Lhe Pyde ark and uuLchess
CounLy area.
lnsLrucLors for Lhe program were
Mark uavls, Alan 8uLsch, and 1lm

1he relay pumplng drlll was held
near Lhe uuLchess CounLy

1he goal of Lhe drlll was Lo pracuce
a large-scale relay pumplng

3-lnch LuP uslng varlous
arrangemenLs of pumpers.
1hree separaLe pumplng scenarlos

1he waLer supply source for Lhe relay pumplng drlll was a manmade lake
