đźš’Training Tuesdayđźš’

The Fuquay-Varina Fire Department has been hosting the Driver Operator series at Station 4. Today, students learned about pump hydraulics and water supply.

While much of the district has hydrant coverage, there are rural areas that still require water to be transported. Understanding the process of establishing drop tanks and drafting water from them is essential for ensuring a continuous water supply to support operations.
