How do firefighters put out a fire when there aren’t any fire hydrants nearby? 🚒💦

When a fire occurs in a rural area without fire hydrants, firefighters rely on a process called water shuttling.

First, crews secure a water source, such as a pond, lake, or a hydrant in a nearby village. Fire department tenders (also called tanker trucks) continuously haul water from that source to the fire scene.

At the scene, the tenders dump their water into large portable folding tanks. Together, the three departments can bring approximately 3,000 gallons of water on their apparatus to get operations started.

Fire engines then draft water from these portable tanks to supply firefighters on attack lines or to provide water to another fire apparatus. When supplying another apparatus, they often use a 5-inch large-diameter hose to move a high volume of water efficiently.

Training note: The setup used during this exercise is not necessarily the exact configuration that would be used at every real emergency. Additional equipment and apparatus were incorporated into this training scenario to allow another engine company to practice water supply operations at the same time. Training with different setups helps our crews understand multiple options and be prepared to adapt to the needs of each incident.

Depending on the size of the fire or the distance between the water source and the scene, additional fire departments may be called to assist with the water shuttle operation to ensure a continuous water supply until the fire is extinguished.

A big thank you to the members of the Belgium Fire Department and Waubeka Fire Department for joining us in this valuable training. Working together strengthens our teamwork, improves our operations, and helps ensure we’re prepared to serve our communities when it matters most.

EMS Training Night 🚑🫀🫁🧠

Continuous training is key to providing the highest level of care for our community.

Tonight, members of the Fredonia Fire Department joined the Belgium Fire Department for a collaborative EMS training focused on anatomy and physiology. Captain Mike Jessen led the class, covering the cardiovascular, respiratory, and neurological systems, how they function, and the signs, symptoms, and potential treatments for conditions affecting each of them.

Thank you Captain Jessen for the time, effort, and knowledge you put into developing and teaching this training. We appreciate your dedication to helping our EMTs continue to learn, grow, and provide the best possible patient care.

Training together makes us stronger, and partnerships like these help ensure we’re always ready when our communities need us most.

Tonight’s training focused on deploying our apartment pack (extended lay), a hose load designed for extended hand-line deployment beyond the length of our pre-connected hose lines on our apparatus. Specific applications include; apartment buildings, alleyways, building with large set backs, etc. This setup allows us to get water to the seat of the fire faster, helping us make a quicker, more efficient attack when every second counts.

We also trained on first in fire attack. This includes rapid deployment of hose lines, safe and effective entry into a burning structure, search and rescue, and applying water to the fire. This portion of the training was conducted under live smoke and heat conditions. We practice to be at our best if you were to ever need us.

Thank you Fredonia!
