🚒🤝Mutual Aid in Action: Water Supply Training
DFRS Career Staff and Volunteers from Wolfsville Volunteer Fire Company recently conducted a multiple-company training drill focused on drafting and relay pumping operations.
The drill provided an opportunity for crews from multiple companies to work together on establishing a water supply, drafting from a static water source, and moving large volumes of water over distance through relay pumping operations.
Training together with neighboring departments is an important part of maintaining strong mutual-aid capabilities. These drills allow firefighters to practice communications, apparatus positioning, pump operations, and water supply coordination before those skills are needed at an actual incident.
A big thank you to all of the companies and members who participated and helped make the training a success. A HUGE thank you to Caboose Farm for allowing us to use your facility for our drill. Working together with community partners and fire companies around us in training makes us stronger when it matters most.
