Beginning this week, through May 1st, PFD crews will be out flushing and testing fire hydrants around the city. This process is crucial to our operational readiness. Ensuring quality of flow and accurate testing numbers allows us to continue to provide the citizens and visitors of the city with the highest level of fire protection possible. Flushing the water mains can cause temporary discoloration to household water due to dislodging impediments inside of the lines. Flushing your household faucets should resolve the issue quickly should you notice any.

This week crews are honing their vehicle extrication skills. Stabilization, extrication and patient assessments are critical in patient and crew safety while operating at a motor vehicle accident. With tools such as hydraulic rams, cutters and spreaders, firefighters can efficiently remove a patient from inside of a vehicle. Thank you to Auto Tech Pineville for the training vehicles.
