It’s that time of year again — HOSE TESTING!

Please use caution when pulling into the station parking lot today. There will be hose laid out across portions of the parking lot as crews conduct annual hose testing.

Take it slow, watch for personnel working in the area, and be mindful of the hose lines to help prevent damage to equipment and ensure everyone’s safety.

Thank you for your cooperation!
