Water Supply Drill on Elam Road
By Firefighter/EMT Christopher Eno
July 25, 2016
On the evening of Monday July 25, Station 49 held a rural water supply drill on Elam Road. The evenings drill consisted of a "building fire" at the Elam King Hardware Store.
Engine 49-1 was instructed to lay in their 4" supply line from the fire pond on Elam Road. Engine 49-2 was to pick up 49-1's line and continue the lay in to the store. Tanker 49 was to take the dry hydrant at the pond and supply the 4" supply line. Four 1.75" hand-lines were pulled from 49-2 and also their deck gun was in operation.
Thanks to the members that all came out on the hot evening to help!
