Tonight's training at the dept was on pump operation and testing out our newest tool. Our Cheif Nathan Mader made a EV spay nozzle.
This newest tool will slide under a Electric Vehicle in case of a fire or if we need to cool the batteries. We always are looking to better our equipment and training to serve our community .
