County-wide fire drill tests cross-agency water shuttle
The Aiken Department of Public Safety led a multi jurisdictional drill with Couchton New Ellenton Silver Bluff and Center fire departments to test water shuttling and compatibility. The exercise at Aiken High School simulated hydrant loss and large water flow aiming for 500 gallons per minute, ultimately moving 60 000 gallons and sustaining 800 GPM for 28 minutes while fostering cooperation and communication among volunteers and agencies.
