Fire Flow Analysis Downstream of a Pump

Hey Everyone,

I recently ran into the problem with WaterGEMS  that nodes on the downstream side of a pump do not have accurate "flows available" for the fire flow analysis results. The pumps in the model are still operating as if there isn't a fire flow and the "flow available" in the fire flow table is much lower than the maximum flow rate of the pumps. Is there an automated way to use the fire flow analysis for nodes down stream of a pump? or do you have to manually add a fire flow demand to each of these nodes so that the pump will operate at the higher flow rate? 

Thanks!
