The purpose of this course is to provide an opportunity for firefighters to learn and practice effective sourcing and moving water for fireground operations in non-hydranted areas.

Participants spent the early morning in the classroom, then moved outside for a full-scale drill where they practiced setup of draft sites, tanker operations, and portable folding tank supply operations.

Thanks to all of our career and volunteer partners for helping to make this a successful training event!
