Rural Water Movement Drill

Print RSS Facebook Twitter RSS

By Fire Chief Chris Bickings
August 7, 2012

Members from BUFD, Company 6 (Monarch), 23 (Gibraltar), 24 (Geigertown), 25 (Exeter Twp), and Montco 57 (West End) participated in a rural water drill. Crews learned about tanker shuttles, using portable ponds for water supply, and some "tricks" to make the process easier. This is extremely important for BUFD to understand since approximately 80% of our primary coverage area has no fire hydrants for water supply.

The Officers and Members would like to thank Mike Rissel for taking time out of his busy schedule to provide our members with his knowledge and experience with rural water movement.

Units: Engine 7, Rescue 7
 
Mutual Aid: Tanker 6, Tanker 23, Tanker 24, Engine-Tanker 25, Rescue 25, Montco Tanker 57
