Saturday morning training and sunshine!

We take advantage of days like this but rain,snow or sun you will see our Volunteers and Career Staff working and training together 7 days a week!

Our area is full of challenges steep mountain driveways, tight back roads , Covered bridges and a majority of our response area doesn’t have fire hydrants out side of town limits.

You may see our crews out and about at ponds, creeks or with dumps tanks set up and our tanker filling them. The reason you see them at these spots is because they are practicing (DRAFTING) water and establishing a significant water source to support fire operations in case of a fire.

Drafting uses the fire engine's pump to create a vacuum, allowing atmospheric pressure to push water up and into the system. system. This critical technique is primarily used in the following.

Rural Firefighting: Accessing natural water sources or dry hydrants when responding to locations far from city water grids. We have a 3000 Gallon Rolling Water Supply (Tanker 10) that is dispatched in non hydrant areas.

Wild land Fires (BRUSH OR MOUNTAIN FIRES): Pulling water directly from natural reservoirs or portable folding tanks to support continuous firefighting lines.

Auxiliary Water Supply: Boosting available hydrant pressure or supplying water when municipal networks fail or reach maximum capacity during major incidents.

Trainings like this are imperative to ensure our crews provide the fastest most efficient service possible to the communities we protect.
