Why not to park in front of a Fire Hydrant!


Recommended Posts

My local areas are rural with the tanker shuttle being standard procedure. The first crew drops an open "tank" (forget what they're correctly called). The local tankers & surrounding mutual aid responds with their tankers. They back up & drop the load & go for a refill. Meanwhile a pumper sets up art the nearest water source. A lot of ponds... from public sources, fire ponds in local streams, even a golf course... have dry hydrants. The pumper refills the tankers as they arrive. Our local station has a "brush truck" pumper... formerly from Shore city of Westerly & has a bronze pump for pumping seawater. The built up areas have city water but sometimes a mix in a given community.Our local fire district volunteers started a trend when they got the new truck with CAFS foam. Such good success all new trucks will have it. Surrounding communities have seen it in action & the equipment is spreading. I know this first truck has front mounted turrets... they can foam a structure before the crew is even off the truck. It has already saved lives.
