*DRILL NIGHT*

This evening, crews trained for maximizing hydrant output to engines on a large scale scene.
Using large diameter hoses to relay to other pumping trucks on scene, crews enacted the workings of a large commercial fire, which is something we’re preparing for as we get called for mutual aid to the city more frequently these days.

On another note, we have a crew in Ohio right now that is going to be doing the final inspection on our second engine, which will be delivered to Crabb’s Prairie in a week or so.

Big things are happening in the prairie!
Stay tuned! 🚒
