Always learning

Today, Clover Fire Department had the opportunity to train alongside Bethany Fire Department on drafting operations.

Crews worked on different methods of drafting and also practiced ways to establish a prime in the event the primer on the truck were to fail. We tried several different techniques to see what worked best and talked through what we learned along the way.

It was a great day of training, teamwork, friendly competition, and a little bit of fun. Most importantly, it helped build a stronger working relationship between our departments so we can better serve our communities when the call comes in.

A big thank you to everyone who came out and put in the work.
